Meroblastic cleavage is

Ans: The correct answer is C ‘Incomplete’.

A: Total - The total meroblastic cleavage is not considered as the total because it is not even complete. That is why it is a wrong answer.

B: Spiral - Meroblastic is not spiral in shape that is why it is the wrong answer.

C: Incomplete- Meroblastic cleavage occurs in eggs with a large amount of yolk, resulting in partial or incomplete cleavage. It is divided into two types: spherical and discoidal. The discoidal cleavage occurs in reptiles and birds whose eggs are telolecithal in nature. The cleavage furrow does reach the yolk. Cytokinesis does not occur in superficial cleavage, resulting in a polynuclear egg. Superficial cleavage occurs in arthropods.

D: Horizontal - Meroblastic cleavage is incomplete, not horizontal that is why it is a wrong answer.

Hence, the correct answer is C, incomplete.
