  • Understanding Embryonic Development: From Zygote to Organism
    An organism in the early stages of development is called an embryo.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Embryo: This term is used to describe an organism in the earliest stages of development, starting from fertilization until the major organ systems are formed.

    * Fetus: This term is used after the embryonic stage, when the organism has recognizable human features.

    * Zygote: This is the single-celled organism that forms from the fusion of a sperm and an egg.

    The specific stages of embryonic development vary depending on the species, but generally involve cell division, differentiation, and the formation of tissues and organs.
