  • Which of the following is the correct sequence of development from zygote to embryo: A) Zygote, Morula, Blastocyst, Embryo B) Zygote, Blastocyst, Morula, Embryo C) Zygote, Embryo, Morula, Blastocyst D) Zygote, Embryo, Blastocyst, Morula?

    A) Zygote, Morula, Blastocyst, Embryo
  • What is the correct sequence of embryonic stages: A) Morula, Blastocyst, Zygote B) Zygote, Morula, Blastocyst C) Blastocyst, Zygote, Morula D) Morula, Zygote, Blastocyst?

    B) Zygote, Morula, Blastocyst
  • During embryonic development, what occurs immediately after fertilization?

    Cleavage occurs, involving rapid mitotic divisions that produce blastomeres.
  • During the early stages of cleavage, what happens to the cell size and number?

    Cell number increases while cell size decreases, enhancing nutrient absorption.
  • Which occurs during embryonic development immediately after fertilization: A) Formation of the blastocyst B) Cleavage C) Gastrulation D) Implantation?

    B) Cleavage
  • The gastrula stage of embryonic development is found in what animals?

    The gastrula stage is found in all animals that undergo embryonic development.
  • What is the role of the trophoblast in early embryonic development?

    The trophoblast forms the outer layer of the blastocyst and develops into the placenta.
  • What is the significance of the zona pellucida during cleavage?

    The zona pellucida acts like an eggshell, protecting the developing conceptus.
  • What transformation occurs around days 4-5 in embryonic development?

    The morula develops into a blastocyst, consisting of an embryoblast and trophoblast.
  • How does the blastocyst prepare for implantation?

    The blastocyst hatches from the zona pellucida and makes contact with the uterine wall.
