Stage Time
Unfertilized oocyte Before fertilization
Fertilized oocyte (zygote) Time 0
2-cell stage 30 h after fertilization
4-cell stage 40-45 h after fertilization
8-cell stage 65-70 h after fertilization
16-cell stage (morula) 96 h after fertilization
Blastula Blastocyst Just prior to implantation. Differentiation starts here.
Fertilization (aka syngamy) joining of parental gametes (oocyte & spermatozoa) to form a zygote (single-celled stage).
Creation and development of an embryo after fertilization
Switching on specialized genes on different chromosomes to develop the traits for a specific cell type and function.
