mosaic development, a kind of embryonic development occurring in the blastocyst. The fertilized ovum undergoes determinate cleavage, developing according to a precise, unalterable plan in which each blastomere has a characteristic position and limited developmental potency and is a precursor of a specific part of the embryo. Damage to or destruction of these cells results in a defective organism. Compare regulative development. How to thank TFD for its existence?
