Problem 2
Question
The process by which cells undergo mitosis without a corresponding increase in cytoplasm is called: a. polarity. . b. cleavage. c. gastrulation. d. organogenesis e. induction.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The process by which cells undergo mitosis without a corresponding increase in cytoplasm is called cleavage.
1Step 1: Recall the Processes in Cell Division and Development
To solve this question, one has to know about various biological processes such as polarity, cleavage, gastrulation, organogenesis, and induction. Cleavage specifically refers to a period of rapid cell division without growth in early embryonic development, thus not leading to an increase in cytoplasm.
2Step 2: Identify the Correct Answer
To identify the correct answer, look at the definition of each choice. Considering its definition, cleavage fits accurately for the cell division without any increase in cytoplasm.
