Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to divide quickly to enable rapid growth, but it's important not to introduce errors that could be fatal to the developing embryo. But some stages of embryo development might be more tolerant of errors, coping with them without leading to complete failure.
