These holoblastic cleavage planes pass all the way through isolecithal zygotes during the process of cytokinesis.
2.
Most mammal zygotes go though holoblastic cleavage, meaning that following fertilization the ovum is split due to cell divisions into multiple, divisible daughter cells.
3.
In the absence of a large concentration of yolk, four major cleavage types can be observed in isolecithal cells : radial holoblastic, spiral holoblastic, bilateral holoblastic, and rotational holoblastic cleavage.
4.
Holoblastic cleavage occurs in animals with little yolk in their eggs, such as humans and other mammals who receive nourishment as embryos from the mother, via the placenta or milk, such as might be secreted from a marsupium.
5.
Another noteworthy trait of monotremes involves their developmental characteristics, such as the zygotic development of platypuses : Most mammal zygotes go through holoblastic cleavage, meaning that following fertilization, the ovum is split due to cell divisions into multiple, divisible daughter cells.
