Question

multiple choice question
what is another term for cell division in the earliest stages of zygote development?
cleavage
sporulation
meiosis
gametogenesis

Explanation:

• Cleavage: Refers to rapid cell division in the early zygote stage, forming a blastula.
• Sporulation: Process in some organisms to form spores, not related to zygote cell division.
• Meiosis: Cell division for gamete formation (reduces chromosome number), not early zygote division.
• Gametogenesis: Production of gametes (sperm/egg), not zygote cell - division.

Answer:

Cleavage
