It is the last phase in the process of fusing two haploid eukaryotic cells together
Karyogamy
It refers to the fusion of the two nuclei.
Karyogamy
It is a fertilized eukaryotic cell that forms after the union of male and female gametes.
Zygote
It encompasses the study of how organisms grow and develop from a single cell to a complex multicellular organism.
DevelopmentalBiology
It is the process by which a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a zygote, initiating embryonic development.
Fertilization
It usually takes place in a fallopian tube that links an ovary to the uterus.
Fertilization
Where do fertilization typically occurs?
Fallopiantube
This formation marks the beginning of embryonic development.
Diploid Zygote
This cell contains two sets of chromosomes (2n).
Diploid
These cells undergo mitosis.
Diploid
These cells are formed by the process of meiosis.
Haploid
This cell contain only one set of Chromosomes (n).
Haploid
It is the outer layer that forms the exoskeleton.
Ectoderm
It is the middle layer that develops into organs.
Mesoderm
It is the inner layer that forms the inner linings of organs.
Endoderm
During this process, the blastocyst undergoes a series of morphogenetic movements, leading to the formation of three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Gastrulation
What are the three primary germ layers?
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
It is a cluster of dividing cells made by a fertilized egg. It is the early stage of an embryo.
Blastocyst
It refers to a rapid cell division that leads to a multicellular embryo.
Cleavage
The zygote undergoes rapid cell divisions called cleavage, leading to the formation of a multicellular structure called a blastocyst.
It is a multicellular structure which is formed after cleavage.
Blastocyst
This event involves the formation and differentiation of specific tissues and organs from the germ layers.
Organogenesis
During this event, the embryo develops into a fetus, with organs and body structures becoming more complex and functional.
Fetal Development
It is a developing offspring post-embryonic stage until birth.
Fetus
It refers to the culmination of embryonic development, where the fully formed organism exits the maternal reproductive system and begins independent life.
Birth
It also encompasses the study of developmental abnormalities, such as birth defects, and the mechanisms underlying regeneration and tissue repair in organisms.
