  2. Fish development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_development

    Fish embryos go through a process called mid-blastula transition which is observed around the tenth cell division in some fish species. Once zygotic gene transcription starts, slow cell division begins and cell movements are observable. [4] During this time three cell populations become distinguished. The first population is the yolk syncytial ...

  3. Maternal to zygotic transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_to_zygotic_transition

    [3] [4] In the early cleavage stages of embryogenesis, rapid divisions occur synchronously and there are no "gap" stages in the cell cycle. [3] During these stages, there is also little to no transcription of mRNA from the zygotic genome, [5] but zygotic transcription is not required for MBT to occur. [3]

  4. Blastulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastulation

    The blastula (from Greek βλαστός (blastos meaning sprout)) is a hollow sphere of cells known as blastomeres surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Embryonic development begins with a sperm fertilizing an egg cell to become a zygote , which undergoes many cleavages to develop into a ball of cells ...

  5. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1] Once fertilized, the ovum becomes a single diploid cell known as a zygote.

  6. Blastomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastomere

    The first conjecture is known as the "inside-outside model", and states that the cells differentiate based on their state in the 16-cell stage or later. This means that, under this model, blastomere cells do not differentiate based on cellular differences, but rather they do so because of mechanical and chemical stimuli based on where they are ...

  7. Embryo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo

    The blastomeres (4-cell stage) are arranged as a solid ball that when reaching a certain size, called a morula, (16-cell stage) takes in fluid to create a cavity called a blastocoel. The structure is then termed a blastula, or a blastocyst in mammals. The mammalian blastocyst hatches before implantating into the endometrial lining of the womb.

  8. Cleavage (embryo) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(embryo)

    In embryology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early development of the embryo, following fertilization. [1] The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant overall growth, producing a cluster of cells the same size as the original zygote.

  9. Embryology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryology

    1 - morula, 2 - blastula 1 - blastula, 2 - gastrula with blastopore; orange - ectoderm, red - endoderm. Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of animal biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.
