Patterns of cleavage and cytoplasmic connections between blastomeres in the embryo of the zebrafish, B. rerio were described. The cell division pattern was often very regular; in many embryos a blastomere''s lineage may be ascertained from its position in the cluster through the 64-cell stage. At the 5h cleavage, however, significant variability in pattern was observed and alternative patterns of the 5th cleavage are described. The early cleavages were partial, incompletely separating blastomeres from the giant yolk cell. The tracer fluorescein-dextran (FD) was injected into blastomeres to learn the extent of the cytoplasmic bridging. Until the 10th cleavage, blastomeres located along the blastoderm margin maintained cytoplasmic bridges to the yolk cell. Beginning with the 5th cleavage, FD injected into a nonmarginal blustomere remains confined to the injected cell, or if the injection was early in the cell cycle, the tracer spreads to the cell''s sibling, through a bridge persisting from the previous cleavage. Injected Lucifer yellow spreads, presumably via gap junctions, widely among blastomeres in a pattern unrelated to lineage.
