Document Summary

This is what happens in a zygote, and happens first. This is what happens primarily during fertilization, the cell will begin dividng right away using premade proteins and mrna. There are no g phases --> no waiting or rest phases. When the embryo has used all of its resources up and the genome must kick in, the b pattern of division begins. G0 : a stage of rest, when the cell is not actively dividing. When the cell is not growing, but is actively dividing you have an increase in surface area, without decreasing the overall volume. Microtubules and actin filaments are very important, they move the nucleus to either side. They deal with sparse yolk (isolecithal) or moderate yolk (meslecithal) Meroblastic or incomplete cleavage deals with dense yolk. If the yolk is polarized, the side where there is little or less yolk is where you can divide and proper cleavage is taken place.
