Early Zygote
This is described as an early human zygote due to the presence of the 2 pronuclei (male and female) in the centre of the cytoplasm.
The haploid pronuclei of the male (spermatozoa) and female (oocyte) have not yet combined to form a single nucleus.
The polar bodies can be seen at the edge of the cytoplasm (at 3 o'clock position). These exclusion bodies contain the additional oocyte DNA produced in meiosis.
The zona pellucida forms the thick clear layer that surrounds the cell.
At this stage in vivo:
- there would still be granulosa cells and spermatozoa attached to the zone pellucida.
- the zygote floats freely within the uterine tube.
- The cell is preparing for the first mitotic division.
