Introduction
First cell divisions of the zygote forming initially 2 blastomeres and continuing to divide to form the morula.
This early mitosis is a unique embryonic cell cycle (M, S, M phases) compared to adult (M, G1, S, G2, M phase). With virtually no G1 or G2 phases this results in a reduction in cytoplasmic volume of each daughter cell with each cell division.
Facts: Week 1, 2-3 days, size 0.1-0.2 mm
Features: zona pellucida, blastomeres
Links: Week 1
