Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cleavage involves rapid replication of DNA in the dividing cells. This allows for the formation of multiple cells from a single zygote. Meiosis, growth of cells, extensive gene expression, and extensive translation of gene transcripts are not necessarily characteristic of cleavage.
