Q

what occurs during the proliferation period

A

-fertilization of ovum yields zygote
-mitotic cleavage of zygote forms blastomeres
-> or = to 32 blastomeres is called a morula
-64 cell stage called blastocyst
-blastocyst then developes inner cell mass and is called embryoblast
-embryoblast implants in uterine wall
