Question 0

Six fundamental processes of embryogenesis

Answer 0

1) Fertilization
2) cleavage
3) gastrulation
4) organogenesis
5) metamorphosis
6) gametogenesis

Question 1

Embryogenesis

Answer 1

The stages of life between fertilization and birth/hatching.

Question 2

Cleavage terms

Answer 2

1) Blastomeres - The smaller cells formed from the rapid mitotic division of cleavage.
2) Blastula - The sphere of cells formed by the Blastomeres by the end of cleavage.

Question 3

Cleavage

Answer 3

A series of rapid mitotic divisions immediately following fertilization. Each of those smaller cells is called a Blastomeres. By the end of cleavage, the Blastomeres have formed a sphere called the blastula.

Question 4

Fertilization

Answer 4

The fusion of each mature egg cell with each mature sperm cell.

Fertilization terms

Answer 5

1) Zygote - the fertilized egg (I.e, fused with the mature sperm).
