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.

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
