Summary Introduction

To explain:

The route of obtaining the atoms in pregnant mother and give it to infant.

Concept introduction:

The development of the zygote to embryo involves the addition of more cells to forms tissues and organs. The development can be defined as the process of transformation of the organism during the growth process. The zygote is very small, however, after cell divisions it develops into newborn infant of about 3.5kg (kilograms) . The developing fetus obtains the atoms from the mother.

Which mechanism prevents an ovum from being fertilized by multiple sperm cells? Select one: a. When more than a single sperm cell fuses with the plasma membrane, multiple zygotes can form, leading to the conception of twins or triplets. b. When a sperm fuses with the plasma membrane of the egg, depolarization of the membrane occurs. c. Once a sperm penetrates the jelly-like coating of the egg, no other sperm cells can penetrate the coating. d. The egg can only survive in the Fallopian tube for 24 hours as it does not have mitochondria to produce energy.
What is the importance of mitosis for the embryonic development?
From what you know about embryonic development, do you think that a cell from the inner cell mass or one from the ectoderm has more developmental potential?
