Question 25

Zygote
The fertilized egg passes along the fallopian tube. Within 24–36 hours it has divided into two cells, then 12 hours later into four cells, and so on. This process is known as ___________.

Answer 25

cleavage

Question 26

MORULA

The zygote divides several times to form a solid blackberry-like cluster of __________, the morula (derived from the Latin for “mulberry”). At around __________ after fertilization the morula leaves the fallopian tube and enters the uterine cavity.

Answer 26

16–32 cells
3–4 days

Question 27

BLASTOCYST
About six days after fertilization, the cell cluster forms a hollow cavity and is known as a ___________. It floats within the uterus for around 48 hours before landing on the thick uterus lining (endometrium), which softens to aid implantation (burrowing of the blastocyst into the endometrium). The inner group of cells will become the embryo itself.

Answer 27

blastocyst
