What are the Physiological differences of cleavage between mammals and birds?

What kind of cleavage are you referring to? Cleavage could refer to a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis or to the splitting of cells in an embryo or to any other sort of separation. Please specify.


Is the sea star embryo growing during cleavage?

no.


In what phase does the cleavage furrow appear?

A cleavage furrow forms during the Telophase phase. During the Metaphase phase chromosomes line up in the center of cell at the metal plate.


Why is there no growth of the blastomere during cleavage?

There is no growth because during cleavage the cells skip the G1 and G2 stages of interphase (when cell growth usually occurs). Because of this, cytoplasm volume stays constant throughout cleavage, only there are more cells to comprise the same volume.


What stage does the cleavage appear in mitosis?

There are five stages of mitosis starting with prophase and ending with telophase. The cleavage furrow develops during cytokinesis which is after the telophase, so the cleavage furrow does not develop in mitosis at all.


What is the role of cleavage furrow?

Cleavage Furrow is is a tight string that is used to separate the two new "daughter cells" during cytokinesis stage of mitosis


During cleavage furrow why do the cells get smaller?

Cleavage furrow, which is what is shown during cytokinesis, "makes the cell smaller" because it is dividing it in two. During interphase, the cell had to enlarge its size by almost double, and cytokineses divides it into normal sized cells.
