Trace the development of the zygote up to its plantation in the uterus.

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query
 
  • The haploid sperm nucleus fuses with the haploid nucleus of the ovum to form a diploid zygote by fertilisation.
  • Mitosis starts as the zygote moves through the isthmus of the oviduct (cleavage) and forms 2, 4, 8, 16 daughter cells called blastomeres.
  • The 8−16 cell embryo is called a morula, which continues to divide to form the blastocyst. The morula moves further into the uterus.
  • The cells in the blastocyst are arranged into an outer trophoblast and an inner cell mass.
  • The trophoblast gets attached to the uterine endometrium, and the process is called implantation. This leads to pregnancy.


Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
