The pattern of embryonic cleavage peculiar to a species is determined by two major parameters: 
(1) the amount and distribution of yolk protein within the cytoplasm, which determine where cleavage can occur and the relative sizes of the blastomeres
(2) factors in the egg cytoplasm that influence the angle of the mitotic spindle and the timing of its formation
