The fertilized egg cell is called a zygote and divides to form an embryo.
The zygote is dividing via mitosis.
Fertilization occurs when the sperm of a male is fused with an ovum, or egg, within the fallopian tube of a female. During this time, the sperm fuses with the ovum in order to form a single cell called a zygote. The zygote begins to divide as it is propelled through the fallopian tube, towards the uterus, by long hairs which grow from cells within the fallopian tubes. Once the zygote begins to divide it is called an embryo. After the embryo reaches the uterus, it attaches to the uterine wall through the process of implantation. After implantation occurs, the traditional nine month pregnancy begins.
The zygote, which is a fertilized egg, grows to maturity in the uterus.
Prenatal development actually begins when the first initial cells divide. Development continues daily until the baby is born. There are differing opinions about this and it is somewhat subject to debate.

After the zygote forms, its cells divide until they form a hollow ball of cells called a Blastula.
The result is a fertilized egg called a zygote :]
