All multicellular organisms develop from a structure called an embryo. The embryo is formed through fertilization of egg and sperm, and it undergoes various stages of cell division and differentiation to give rise to the complex multicellular organism.
The egg cell is called a zygote once it has been fertilized.
After fertilization, the egg undergoes rapid cell division to form a ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst then implants itself into the uterus where it continues to develop into different cell types and tissues through a process known as gastrulation. Cell specialization occurs, leading to the formation of distinct organs and systems, eventually resulting in a multicellular organism.
An archegonium is a multicellular structure in plants, specifically in bryophytes and some ferns, that produces and contains the egg cells. It is typically located in the female reproductive organs of these plants and plays a key role in sexual reproduction by allowing the egg cells to be fertilized by sperm cells.
Yes, a fertilized egg is considered to be an unicellular organism because it is a single cell formed by the fusion of a sperm and an egg. This single cell has the potential to develop into a complete multicellular organism.
The ostrich's egg is multicellular. It is a large, thick-shelled egg that contains multiple layers of cells, including the yolk, albumen, and membranes, as well as the developing embryo.
A platypus is an Australian, semi-aquatic, egg laying mammal, so is multicellular.
The gamete of butterflies are unicellular from the female. However, the egg containing the embryo is actually a multicellular egg.
No, a hen's egg is not a unicellular organism. It is a single cell, the ovum, surrounded by multiple layers such as the yolk, egg white, and shell. Once fertilized, the ovum develops into a multicellular organism, the chick.
The fertilized egg is called a blastocyst during implantation. The blastocyst is a multicellular structure that forms from the fertilized egg as it develops and prepares for implantation in the uterine lining.
Yes, they are an egg-laying mammal. A platypus is indeed an example of a monotreme. Though it is a mammal it lays eggs rather than giving birth.
A multicellular organism that carries a specific genetic change in each cell because of an intervention at the fertilized egg stage is known as a transgenic. The first documented transgenic animals were mice.
All multicellular organisms develop from a structure called an embryo. The embryo is formed through fertilization of egg and sperm, and it undergoes various stages of cell division and differentiation to give rise to the complex multicellular organism.
The egg cell is called a zygote once it has been fertilized.
The first stage of an embryo from an egg is the cleavage stage, where the egg undergoes rapid cell divisions without growth, producing smaller cells called blastomeres. This stage eventually leads to the formation of a multicellular embryo.
It is multicellular
Platypuses are multicellular. All mammals, and indeed all vertebrates, are multicellular.
