- Aformation of zygote
- Correct answerBpattern of cleavage
- Cnumber of blastomeres produced

Solution
The mode of cleavage is determined by the amount of yolk and its distribution.
(i) Holoblastic-The cleavage, in which the segmentation lines pass through the entire egg, dividing it completely, eg, frog, human egg, etc.
(ii) Meroblastic-The lines of segmentation do not completely pass through the egg and remain confined to a part of the egg, eg, Insects, birds, reptiles.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
