vertical axis of the egg. Deuterostomes are further characterized by indeterminate cleavage‚ which means that each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo. Indeterminate cleavage of the human zygote allows identical twins to be possible. In a protostome‚ as the archenteron forms‚ solid masses of mesoderm split to form the coelomic cavities‚ or schizocoelous development. In deuterostomes‚ the development of body cavities‚ or enterocoelous‚ happens
