The series of cellular divisions by which the zygote becomes a multicellular embryo is known as?

The answer is Cleavage because Cleavage is the first mitotic divisions of the zygote. There is an increase in the number of cells but a decrease in size of the individual cells.


In sea star development what is happening to the size of the cells as cleavage takes place and cell numbers increase?

the cells get smaller as they split


How does cleavage reduce the size of cells in an embryo?

During cleavage G1 and G2 stages are by-passed so cells simply progress from S (DNA synthesis) to M (mitosis) without the intervening growth phaseAs a result cleavage cells continue to decrease in sizeuntil they approximate the size of normal somatic cells


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.


By what process does the embryo divide with no increase in size?

Mitosis or cleavage


What process of rapid mitotic cell division without intervening growth periods?

This process if known as cleavage. The cells divide rapidly, but there is no overall increase in the size of the zygote.


Will human beings increase the number of cells as they grow?

Yes. Cells don't grow enough to account for the increase in size during a human being's life but they increase in number.

What are hypertrophied genitals?

Hypertrophied genitals is simply hypertrophy in a person's genitals. Hypertrophy is the increase in size of an organ due to the increase in size of its cells. (There is the same amount of cells, but they just get bigger) dont confuse this with hyperplasia which is the increase in the size of an organ due to the increase in number of cells.


How did most of a dog's size increase take place?

What is the Hypertrophy?

WHen you built up muscles really big. Like body builders. An increase in size of skeletal muscle through an increase in the size of its component cells is called muscular hypertrophy.


How are tumor cells cells from normal cells?

They divide infinitely without slopping. So they increase in size
