Cleavage Flashcards
is a rapid series of mitotic divisions that occur just after fertilization
cleavage
During the process of cleavage ,the cell cycle consists of only 2 phases
s-phase dna synthesis
m-phase
The cell in cleavage does not go through a ______
g1, g2 phases
In the mammals’ ova the first cleavage stage takes ______ which is the lowest
eggs in the yolk.
24 hours
In the embryo of birds completes the stages of cleavage
before the female lays the egg
In the amphibians 1st cleavage done within
3 hours
cleavage in sea urchin embryo
radial cleavage
cleavage in mammals
rotational cleavage
do not grow in size between successive cell divisions
blastomeres
have a small amount of yolk that is equally
distributed in the cytoplasm (most mammal eggs have this)
isolecithal eggs
have a moderate amount of yolk, and the
yolk is present mainly in the vegetal hemisphere (amphibians have this)
mesolecithal eggs
have a large amount of yolk that fills the
cytoplasm, except for a small area near the animal pole (fish, reptiles, and
birds)
telolecithal eggs
have a lot of yolk that is concentrated within the center of
the cell (insects and arthropods).
centrolecithal eggs
occurs in isolecithal eggs (mammals, sea urchins). The
entire egg is cleaved during each division.
holoblastic cleavage
occurs when eggs have a lot of yolk. The egg does not
divide completely at each division.
meroblastic cleavage
is limited to a small disc of cytoplasm at the animal
pole. All of the yolk filled cytoplasm fails to cleave (characteristic of
telolecithal eggs such as birds)
discoidal cleavage
is limited to a thin surface area of cytoplasm that
covers the entire egg. The inside of the egg that is filled with yolk fails to
cleave (centrolecithal eggs such as insects).
superficial cleavage
two types of meroblastic cleavage
discoidal cleavage
superficial cleavage
1st qnd 2nd cleavage
meridional
The 3rd cleavage is
equatorial
at the 16 to 32 cell stage the embryo is called a ______ because it looks like a mulberry. Witch will transfer to blastula stage.
morula
will form at the end of cleavage stage
blastula
Its has a cavity called the _______ between the animal and vegetal pole
blastocoel
The outer surface of the amphibian blastula has cells connected by specialized
cell junctions
