Question

A cell formed from cleavage is known as

• A. Blastomere
• B. Blastopore
• C. Blastula
• D. Morula

Answer 1

The correct option is A Blastomere

After the fertilization of the male and female gamete, a single-celled structure is formed which is known as the zygote. The zygote undergoes rapid mitotic divisions that are known as the cleavage they lead to the formation of cell is which are known as the blastomeres. The zygote undergoes its first cleavage and forms two blastomeres. Then after the second cleavage 4 blastomeres are formed and so on.

So, the correct option is 'Blastomere'.
