| Once
sperm enters egg, the egg splits and forms nuclei of
ovum. Sperm nucei and ovum nuclei join and this is fertilization. |
Until
day 15 baby is considered a zygote. |
Sex
of your baby is determined at the moment of fertilization.
|
Zygote
is rapidly dividing and is surrounded by the zona pellucida
The zona pellucida holds the cells together. |
The
inner solid ball of cells is called the blastocyst.
|
The
zona pellucida is replaced by the trophoblast. |
The
zygote is fed by uterine "milk" (or secretions
from uterine glands) at this time. |
