In some organisms where fertilization occurs inside the female reproductive system, they have a small amount of yolk, leading to a holoblastic cleavage. Then again, cells with a large yolk undergo meroblastic cleavage while the resulting daughter cells remain attached to each other. Conversely, the presence of yolk accelerates early development. Those organisms with a large amount of yolk have their fertilization occurring outside the female body, leading to meroblastic or unequal cleavage. A large amount of yolk serves to nourish the cells.
