How does the cleavage differ from mitosis? |
It lacks synthetic phase
It lacks growth phase. Both A and B .
None of these.

It lacks growth phase. |
Cleavage is a series of rapid mitotic divisions of the zygote, during cleavage there are no intervening growth periods between the successive divisions. Therefore the cells get smaller & smaller, but the embryonic mass remains essentially the same size whereas normal Mitosis occurs in most of somatic cells for a longer period and daughter cells formed go to growth phase. |
