- The haploid sperm nucleus fuses with the haploid nucleus of the ovum to form a diploid zygote by fertilisation.
- Mitosis starts as the zygote moves through the isthmus of the oviduct (cleavage) and forms 2, 4, 8, 16 daughter cells called blastomeres.
- The 8−16 cell embryo is called a morula, which continues to divide to form the blastocyst. The morula moves further into the uterus.
- The cells in the blastocyst are arranged into an outer trophoblast and an inner cell mass.
- The trophoblast gets attached to the uterine endometrium, and the process is called implantation. This leads to pregnancy.
