*Human Development and Comparative Embryology Quiz Thursday,  10/24*          Review every night!

                                                             Power Words
  • zygote- the single cell formed from the union of male and female sex cells
  • embryo-the first 8 weeks of embryonic development
  • fetus-the unborn, young organism having a basic structural resemblance to the adult animal.  All major organs are present at this time.
  • fertilization-the union of male and female sex cells during sexual reproduction.  In plants, this is called pollination and in humans it is called insemination.
  • phylogeny- the embryonic development of a related group of organisms, like vertebrates.  They are all in the same phyla.
  • ontogeny-the embryonic development of a single species, like humans.  

zygote- 1 cell
embryo- 1 million cells
newborn- 2 trillion cells
adult- 100 trillion cells
