A zygote divides to form _______.
cleavage
a hollow ball of cells that marks the end of the cleavage stage during early embryonic development in animals

The succession of rapid cell divisions without significant growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote to a ball of cells
cleavage
an embryonic stage in animal development encompassing the formation of three layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
gastrula
In animal development, a series of cell and tissue movements in which the blastula-stage embryo unfolds inward, producing a three-layered embryo, the gastrula
gastrulation
the endoderm-lined cavity, formed during gastrulation, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal
archenteron
In a gastrula, the opening of the archenteron that typically develops into the anus in deuterostomes and the mouth in protostomes
blastopore
the outermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering, and in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear, and lens of the eye
ectoderm
the innermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; lines the archenteron and gives rise to the liver, pancreas, lungs, and the lining of the digestive tract in species that have these structures
