Q

Zygotic/Germinal Stage

A
  1. Sperm penetrates egg =fertilization
  2. Once fertilization occurs and a zygote (fertilized egg) is created outside of egg thickens so that no other sperm enters the egg
  3. Zygote to the fallopian tube & cell division begins
  4. Implantation in uterus occurs
  5. Blastocyst= balls of cells form
    - Inner cell= becomes embryo
    - outter cell= tropoblast (placenta & chorion)
