Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the zygote moves through the fallopian tube toward the uterus, it undergoes a series of mitotic cell divisions, a process known as cleavage. This increases the number of cells without increasing the overall size of the embryo. The process of meiosis is involved in the production of gametes (sperm and egg cells), not in the post-fertilization development of the zygote.
