Answer 1

The term cleavage indicates to the series of rapid mitotic divisions of zygote following the fertilization which forms several-celled blastula.

Interphase in cleavage division is short and does not need growth so that the resulting blastomeres will become quite smaller in size when it number increases.

Therefore, the size of the blastomeres will not increase during cleavage. The correct answer is b. size of cells decrease.
