Which of the following results from cleavage?
A) formation of the nervous system
B) formation of the notochord
C) more cells
D) segmentation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cleavage is the process of rapid cell division without cell growth that occurs immediately after fertilization. As a result of cleavage, the number of cells increases but the overall size of the embryo remains the same. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. The formation of the nervous system and notochord occurs later in embryonic development, and segmentation is a result of repeated cell division in the developing embryo, but not specifically from cleavage.
