Development: Zygote to Adult Organism
Development refers to the transformation of the zygote into an adult organism.
Segmentation
Segmentation is the set of cell divisions where a single cell or multicellular body produces a blastula. Initially, the zygote divides through mitosis, forming a compact mass of undifferentiated cells called blastomeres, known as a morula.
Cells reorganize, placing blastomeres around a central cavity called the blastocoel. This structure is the blastula stage of cell cleavage.
