embryo
In human development, the first cell divisions occur in the salpinx of the woman, before the embryo is implanted in the uterus
Embryo biopsy is the process of removing a cell from an embryo, usually at three days of development. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the act of performing genetic testing on the cell that has been removed from the embryo before that embryo is transferred to the uterus. In other words, embryo biopsy is necessary in order to perform PGD. Shannon DeWall, MS, CGC Genetic Counselor and Program Coordinator Genesis Genetics Institute
terminal cell : provide polarity to the embryo and embryo develops here.. (apical cell) basal cell : develops suspensor which anchors embryo to the endosperm and serve as a nutrient producer.
One would think it's embryo but a zygote is not a embryo yet, it is the early stage of what will become a embryo. Zygote is the word used and you can use the word cell since a zygote is the initial cell formed after a sperm and egg have joined. After 1 week it has transformed into a embryo.

Embryo is produced by cell division of zygote .
The placenta develops in the uterus after the zygote has implanted in the Uterine wall. This wall develops into the placenta during pregnancy. If implantation does not occur the wall will be sloughed off in the next menstrual cycle
The way the anatomy of the female reproductive tract is prevents this. The only way it might happen is if the uterus is removed and the ovaries remain. The egg may end in the vagina. If the egg is excreted into the vagina and if fertilized, the embryo would be lost. If some how the embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus, it would also be lost. There is not enough room for it to grow.

A sperm is a haploid of 22 autosomes and 1 sex cell. So it gives the embryo half of its DNA.
There is one on each side of the uterus (womb). These are what develop and release eggs (ovum) that are what merge with sperm to create a zygote. A zygote is a cell that eventually develops into a an embryo. Embryo eventually develop into fetuses that become infants. The ovaries release the eggs into the Fallopian tubes that are attached and open into the uterus. The ovaries also produce hormones needed to initiate and sustain a pregnancy.For more information, see the related links below.
