Best Answer

The cells are known as stem cells meaning they can become any cell type. The embryo becomes bigger because certain genes in the DNA are activated allowing the cell to divide or produce certain determination factors that will make a stem cell become a neuron, muscle cell, etc.... The embryo grows in size as the stem cells divide repeatedly and then some of the stem cells become actual specific cells.

What happen f the girl always excrete out there egg cell to their vagina?

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.


Where does the developing fertilised egg cell get its food from?

When people say that babies get their food from what their mother eat, their wrong that's just a myth. The developing embryo gets its food from the umbilical cord because it transfers blood and liquids to the developing embryo and that's how they get their food.

Is it possible to have an uneven split of an embryo?

This was a research done by Hans Spemann, an embryologist of the early 20th century in Germany. His research lead him to conclude that the dorsal and ventral (top and bottom) halves of the embryo were different. The top half contained a certain group of cells that organize development. They are visible on the dorsal surface of a 2-cell-stage embryo. The outcome of his constriction experiments depended on exactly where this structure was in relation to the constriction. If one half of the constriction contained the entire structure, it would develop into an embryo that could live and the other half developed into the belly-piece. If the structure was evenly split during the constriction, the result was twin, including Siamese twin, embryos. If it was split unevenly, it resulted (in some cases) an embryo with two heads (a Siamese twin). He also inadvertently discovered a way to clone during this process of constricting embryos as they split.


Is cloning humans diffrent procedurally from cloning animals?

The cloning of humans and animals can be done the exact same way for both. The methods that can be used are artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer.

What needs to happen before the plant embryo can push its way out the seed coat?

The embryo is the baby plant. It has an embryo root to push its way eventually out of the seed coat, and embryo stem, and embryo leaves which will later start food production.

What affect is an increasing population creating in relation to greenhouse gases?

Think of it this way: The bigger the population gets, the more resources they use, the more pollution they emit and the bigger this problem gets. Reduce the population, and you reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmospere.
