Three Stages of Fetal Development Zygote Stage- Week 1-2 Embryo Stage - Week 3-8 Fetus Stage- Week 9-38
Zygote Stage An egg is dropped monthly by being released from an aviary Sperm burrows through the cells that surround the egg to penetrate the cellular wall of the egg Once this occurs, chemical changes happen immediately and prevent other sperm from penetrating the egg. The nuclei of the egg and the sperm fuse together and the two sets of 23 chromosomes interchange (Professional, n.d.).
Zygote Stage The zygote becomes a ball of cells and then become a blastocyst The sperm fertilizes the egg in the fallopian tube It takes about one week for the zygote to make its way to the uterus During this week, the zygote divides into two separate structures One structure is the embryo and the other is the placenta Cavanaugh, R.
