Fertilization
They each contain half on the genetic information necessary for reproduction
Fertilization
Carrying of the embryo inside the uterus which can last up to 9 months in human
Gestation
The fertilized egg passes along the fallopian tube
Zygote
Within 24-36 hours it has divided into two cells, than 12 hours later into four cells
Zygote
Known as cleavage
Zygote
Conveys zygote towards uterus
Fallopian tube
The large zygote splits itself into two cells
First cleavage
Micro hair in the fallopian lining that waft the zygote along
Cilia
Secrete fluid that fill the fallopia
Goblets cells
The zygote divides several times to form a solid blackberry-like cluster of 16-3 cells, the ______ (derived from the latin for “mulberry”)
Morula
At around ____ days after fertilization the morula leaves the fallopian tube and enters the urine cavity.
3-4 days
About ____ days after fertilization, the cell cluster forms a hollow cavity and is known as a _____
