Encyclopedia: Zygote

A zygote (Greek: ζυγωτόν) is a cell that is the result of fertilization. That is, two haploid cells—usually (but not always) an ovum from a female and a sperm cell from a male—merge into a single diploid cell called the zygote (or zygocyte).

Blastocoele

A blastocoel(e) or blastocele or cleavage cavity or segmentation cavity is the central region of a blastula (or blastosphere). It is filled with fluid. A blastocoele forms during embryogenesis when a zygote (a fertilized ovum) divides into many cells through mitosis. The adjectival of "blastocoel...

Morula

Morula is a stage of embryonic development in animals, including the 16-cell phase, the 32-cell phase, and the 64-cell phase. The morula is produced by embryonic cleavage, the rapid cell division of the zygote with virtually no growth. The morula is a solid ball; after the 64-cell phase, it...

Cleavage

In embryology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early embryo. The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant growth, producing a cluster of cells the same size as the original zygote. In mineralogy, the tendency of crystalline materials to split along definite...

Embryology

Embryology is the science of the early development of organisms, between the one-cell stage (generally, the zygote) and the beginning of free living. Embryology therefore deals with the various steps necessary for the correct and complete formation of the body of a living organism. Born as a...
