Solution
The correct option is
C
Starts when egg is in fallopian tube
Cleavage is the rapid mitotic divisions of the fertilized egg or zygote.
The first cleavage starts in the upper portion of the fallopian tube after around 28-30 hours of fertilization.
The cleavage of zygote results in the formation of 8-16 celled stage known as a morula. The cells of the zygote are known as blastomeres.
Cleavage in humans is holoblastic as blastomeres divide completely.
So, the correct answer is 'Starts when
egg
is in
fallopian
tube'.
