Which is the first stage of embryonic development after fertilization in frog's zygote? a) Blastulation b) Morulation c) Cleavage d) Gastrulation
1Answer
The first stage of embryonic development after fertilization in a frog's zygote is cleavage.
After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cleavage, a series of rapid mitotic divisions without growth, resulting in the formation of a multicellular blastula. This process is essential for increasing cell number and preparing the embryo for subsequent stages like blastulation and gastrulation.
- Cleavage is the correct answer because it immediately follows fertilization and precedes blastulation.
- Blastulation occurs later, forming the blastula.
- Morulation is not a recognized term in frog embryology.
- Gastrulation follows cleavage and blastulation, leading to tissue layer formation.
Thus, the correct choice is (c) Cleavage.
