Which one of the following statements about morula in humans is correct?

  1. A
    It has more cytoplasm and more than an uncleaved zygote.
  2. B
    It has almost equal quantity of cytoplasm as an uncleaved zygote but much more .
  3. C
    It has far less cytoplasm as well as less than in an uncleaved zygote.
  4. D
    It has more or less equal quantity of cytoplasm and as in uncleaved zygote.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The morula is the result of cleavage divisions (mitosis) of the zygote. During cleavage, the cells divide rapidly but do not grow in size. Therefore, the total volume of cytoplasm remains the same as the original zygote. However, because each new cell must have its own set of chromosomes, the total amount of increases significantly with each division.
