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.

How does the arrangement in chromosomes at meta phase differ in mitotic division and the first division?

How many mitotic divisions to get 10 cells?

At least four. First division produces two cells. Second division produces four. Third division produces eight cells. Fourth division produces sixteen cells. If out of these eight cells of third mitotic division only two cells divide further then we will have 10 cells.


What is a zyzote?

What comes first gastrula or blastula?

Blastula occurs first and then gastrula. The zygote turns into a morula through clevage and then blastula occurs. Just remember it as the morula BLASTing.


What is a fertilized egg cell called when it divides?

It is called a morula, and consists of the first 16 cells from the division of the zygote (fertilized egg). The individual undifferentiated cells are known as blastomeres, and form a hollow structure called a blastocyst. Once differentiation of cells occurs, the structure is simply called an embryo, and later a fetus.
