After fertilization cells as seen here divide repeatedly. the next step in the development of a multicellular organism would be?

a: cytokinesis

b: cleavage

c: differentiation

d: furrowing

Answer;

Differentiation

Explanation;

-Fertilization is the process in which female gametes, ovum, fuses with a male gamete, sperm, to form a diploid zygote.

-Cell differentiation on the other hand is the process that creates cells with different structures and function through gene activation.

-Fertilization of an ovum by a sperm results to cell differentiation in which an individual with millions of cells and hundreds of cell types is formed, with cells that are organized into complex and diverse tissues and organs.  

gametes or germ cells are haploid cells (example: sperm and ova) containing only one set (or n) number of chromosomes and autosomal or somatic cells are diploid cells containing 2n number of chromosomes.
