28
Fertilization
Union of a haploid spermicide with a haploid egg
29
What is parthenogenesis?
Development of an egg cell into a mature organism without being fertilized by a sperm cell
30
Give an example of something that goes through parthenogenesis
Bees
31
What are the 5 steps in Embryo formation?
``` Fertilization Cleavage Gastrulation Differentiation Growth ```
32
Cleavage?
Zygote divides many times by mitosis, forming a hollow ball with a single layer of cells called a BLASTULA.
33
Gastrulation?
One side of the blastula becomes indented forming a GASTRULA.
34
What are the outer, inner, and middle layers of the gastrula called?
Outer-ectoderm Inner-endoderm Middle-mesoderm
35
Differentiation?
Cells of the three layers differentiate, or change, into various tissues and organs of the animal
36
Growth?
Increase in the number of cells and size of cells.
