Introduction
First cell mitotic divisions of the zygote forming initially 2 blastomeres that continue to divide to form the morula, a "berry", a solid mass of cells.
This early mitosis is a unique embryonic cell cycle (M, S, M phases) compared to adult (M, G1, S, G2, M phase). With virtually no G1 or G2 phases this results in a reduction in cytoplasmic volume of each daughter cell with each cell division.
