Does a zygote become an embryo in the womb?

Answer 1

the zygote forms by the union of a sperm and ova

Answer 2

Through growth and development.

By growth we mean increase in size and also in the number of cells. An adult human, for example, has about 10 or even 100 trillion cells. The cell divisions are mitosis.

By development we mean that as the embryo grows cells become different, a process that is called, logically enough, differentiation. Cells not only become structurally different, but they acquire correspondingly different functions, too. So, to take a human again as an example, some cells are specialized for carrying oxygen around the body in the blood, some destroy bacteria that they encounter, others pump sugars out of the intestine into the blood after a meal, and so on. This division of labor makes for a highly complex and efficient organism.

So the first thing that visibly happens to a zygote is that it divides by mitosis into two cells, then they divide to form a four-celled embryo, and so on. Eventually the ball of identical-looking cells hollows and acquires an axis, and differentiation begins.

Answer 3

During a process called fertilization, an egg is penetrated by a sperm cell, and the haploid genetic information of both male and female gametes combines. The result of this process is a diploid cell called a Zygote. A zygote cell receives half chromosomes from its female parent and half from it's male parent. The zygote then undergoes mitosis and cell division and developes into an Embryo.

Answer 4

yes, the zygote does become an embryo when it enters the womb. though insted of just floating in the womb it embeds itelf in the wall of the womb.

Answer 5

when egg is combine with sperm the process of fertilization take and zygote is formed this fertilization take place till 9 months after 9 months a new baby is born from this zygote.

Answer 6

Yes, a zygote develops into an embryo through the process of cell division and differentiation in the womb. This typically occurs during the first eight weeks of pregnancy.

Answer 7

zygote become a baby
