| cleavage site | A sequence in DNA that can be recognised and cut by a specific restriction enzyme. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cleavage spindle | The spindle formed during the cleavage of a zygote or its blastomeres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cleavage stage, ovum | The embryo in its earliest stage, lasting from the first mitotic division of the fertilised ovum into two blastomeres to the formation of the morula, a compact mass of blastomeres. (12 Dec 1998) |
| complete cleavage | Cleavage in which the blastomeres are completely separated; the entire egg participates in cell division. Synonym: complete cleavage, total cleavage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive cleavage | In fungi, a type of sporulation in which cleavage planes in the cytoplasm first produce protospores and then sporangiospores in a sporangium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| holoblastic cleavage | Cleavage in which the blastomeres are completely separated; the entire egg participates in cell division. Synonym: complete cleavage, total cleavage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pudendal cleavage | The cleft between the labia majora. Synonym: rima pudendi, fissura pudendi, pudendal cleavage, pudendal slit, rima vulvae, urogenital cleft, vulvar slit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrolytic cleavage | <chemistry> The splitting of a compound into fragments by the addition of water, the hydroxyl group being incorporated in one fragment and the hydrogen atom in the other. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
| subdural cleavage | Originally thought to be a narrow fluid-filled interval between the dural and arachnoid; now known to be an artificial space created by the separation of the arachnoid from the dura as the result of trauma or some ongoing pathologic process; in the healthy state, the arachnoid is attached to the dura and a naturally occurring subdural space is not present. Synonym: spatium subdurale, cavum subdurale, subdural cavity, subdural cleavage, subdural cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial cleavage | Meroblastic cleavage with the divisions limited to the peripheral (surface) cytoplasm of a centrolecithal egg. (05 Mar 2000) |
| determinate cleavage | Cleavage resulting in blastomeres each capable of developing only into a particular embryonic structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discoidal cleavage | Meroblastic cleavage limited to the small cap (animal pole) of protoplasm of large-yolked eggs, such as the telolecithal eggs of birds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete cleavage | Incomplete separation of the blastomeres, with the divisions being limited to the nonyolked portion of the egg. Synonym: incomplete cleavage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indeterminate cleavage | Cleavage resulting in blastomeres of similar developmental potencies, each capable, when isolated, of producing an entire embryonic body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thioclastic cleavage | The splitting of a bond in fashion analogous to hydrolysis or phosphorolysis except that the elements of a substituted hydrogen sulfide (usually coenzyme A) are added across the break. (05 Mar 2000) |
