Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of cleavage that is characteristic of the telolecithal eggs of reptiles and birds.

Introduction: During early development of an organism, the zygote undergoes divisions to form the embryo. The pattern of division depends on the type of egg cell of the organism. The type of egg cell depends on the distribution of yolk and cytoplasm in the cell. Holoblastic cleavage is seen in isolecithal egg cells, in which the yolk is distributed evenly throughout the cell.
