What is meant by "radial and indeterminate cleavage."
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Radial cleavage is the type of holoblastic cleavage that occurs in deuterostomes like vertebrates and echinoderms. In this type of cleavage, cells (blastomeres) at the top layer are placed directly above the cells of the bottom layer during cell division that results in the radial symmetry around the pole to pole axis of embryo.
Indeterminate cleavage is a type of cleavage in which the blastomers (cells) produced during the embryonic division of original cell have equal developmental potency. They can be isolated and each one can grow into whole organism individually.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the radial and indeterminate cleavage.
