Lines of cleavage are of utmost importance to surgeons, because a cut made parallel to a line of cleavage will usually remain closed with only minimal bleeding. Such a cut heals with a minimum of scarring. By contrast, a cut made at a right angle to a cleavage line will be pulled open as cut elastin fibers recoil. This cut will bleed profusely and will produce much scar tissue as it heals.

Cleavage is important in embryonic development as it represents a series of rapid cell divisions that ultimately lead to the formation of a multicellular organism. Cleavage helps to increase the number of cells while maintaining a high surface area to volume ratio, enabling efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products. Additionally, cleavage leads to the formation of different cell layers that eventually give rise to specialized tissues and organs in the developing embryo.

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.
What is the cleavage of hematite?
It has no cleavage because it has an uneven and irregular fracture.
Cytokinesis in animal cells is called?
Cleavage furrow formation. It is the process by which the cytoplasm of a cell is divided into two daughter cells following cell division. This process involves the constriction of the cell membrane to form a furrow that eventually pinches the cell into two separate, identical daughter cells.
What fracture does emerald have?
Emerald is imperfect cleavage. This means that that its cleavage is not clear to find. Some people think it is frature but if the Emerald was to break it would break in sheets which is known as cleavage.
What is radial cleavage?
Radial Cleavage is a type of Holoblastic Cleavage. You can get Isolecithal, Radial Cleavage which gives you equal yolk distribution between blastomeres. And you can get Mesolecithal, Radial Cleavage which gives moderate yolk distribution but it tends to have some asymmetrical distribution of the yolk which causes some blastomeres to be slightly smaller. (At least this is what it seems to be to me...) Previous Answer: i think it means giant boobs. don't really know sorry
What is the importance of cleavage in embryonic development?
Cleavage produces the number of cells needed for the future organisation of the embryo, shifts and compartmentalises the egg material and balances out the nuclear and cytoplasmic material. Development is initiated by cleavage.
