Question

Interphase is short in

• A. Cleavage
• B. Typical Mitosis
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cleavage

Cleavage is the term used for repeated mitotic divisions that take place during the growth of an embryo. A single-celled embryo undergoes successive rounds of division to form a blastocyst which is 16-celled. No actual growth occurs during this process as the initial and final stages are of almost the same size of almost the same size. Also, during cleavage, very little growth occurs between the stages or during interphase.

So, the correct answer is 'Cleavage'.
