The zygote passes through several developmental stages till implantation, Describe each stage briefly with suitable diagrams.

Answers (1)

The following figure shows various stages of zygote development till implantation:

(a)     The zygote divides into two-cell stage called cleavage. This development takes place when the zygote is still in the isthmus.

(b)    The cleavage undergoes further rounds of mitosis to form 2, 4, 8 and finally 16-celled stage.
        These daughter cells are called blastomere.

(c)    The 16-celled stage is known as morula.

(d)    The morula changes into blastocyst; with more rounds of meiosis. At this stage, the blastomeres are arranged in an outer layer of cells; called trophoblast and an inner mass of cells.

(e)    Implantation to uterine wall happens at the blastocyst stage.
