A process in sexual reproduction whereby the male and female gametes (haploid cells) unite to form a diploid zygote.Zygote ?
When an ovum and sperm unite, they form a zygote which will develop into an organism.What about cleavage?
It is a period of rapid cell division following fertilisation. During this time, very little new cytoplasm is made, there is an increase in number of cells but no increase in cell mass.Blastula ?
One of the early embryonic structures, blastula is a hollow sphere of cells that surrounds a fluid-filled cavity called blastocoel.Gastrula ?
The embryonic structure whereby the 3 embryonic tissues ; ectoderm,mesoderm and endoderm are formed.Organogenesis?
Process by which the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm develop into the organs of the organism.
Neurulation?
A part of organogenesis whereby the neural tube is formed.Lastly, what is embryo?
The developing multicellular organism between fertilisation and birth is called the embryo.~ Biology, Volume 2, STPM ~
