cycle - verified answers-Sexually
Diploid
Zygote - verified answers-Fertilized egg
(Sperm+Egg=Zygote)
Undergoes rapid cell division called cleavage
Cleavage - verified answers-The process of cytokinesis in
animal cells, characterized by pinching of the plasma
membrane; specifically, the succession of rapid cell divisions
without growth during early embryonic development that
converts the zygote into a ball of cells
Ectoderm - verified answers-outermost germ layer; produces
sense organs, nerves, and outer layer of skin
,Indian pangolin - verified answers-Manis crassicaudata
example given
Tissues - verified answers-Collections of specialized cells with
a common function, isolated from other tissues by membranous
layers
Germ Layers - verified answers-Give rise to tissues and organs
of animal embryo
Gastrulation - verified answers-developmental process in which
three distinct cell layers form in an embryo: the endoderm,
mesoderm, and ectoderm
gastrula - verified answers-a stage of embryonic development
characterized by the differentiation of the cells into the
ectoderm and endoderm germ layers and by the formation of
the archenteron
Mesoderm - verified answers-middle germ layer; develops into
muscles, and much of the circulatory, reproductive, and
excretory systems
Blastula - verified answers-Cell that has undergone many cell
cleavages
Hollow call of cells mark the end of cleavage stage during early
embryonic development.
