The outer single layer in the blastula is called
A
Ectoderm
B
Blastoderm
C
Blastocoel
D
Endoderm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A blastoderm (germinal disc, blastodisc) is a single layer of embryonic epithelial tissue that makes up the blastula. It encloses the fluid filled blastocoel . Gastrulation follows blastoderm formation, where the tips of the blastoderm begins the formation of the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.

Detailed explanation-2: -In mammals, the blastula forms the blastocyst in the next stage of development. Here the cells in the blastula arrange themselves in two layers: the inner cell mass and an outer layer called the trophoblast. The inner cell mass is also known as the embryoblast; this mass of cells will go on to form the embryo.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trophoblast is a layer of cells forming the outer ring of the blastocyst that combines with the maternal endometrium to form the placenta. Trophoblast cells also secrete factors to make the blastocoel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gastrulation is the stage in the early embryonic development of most animals, during which the blastula (a single-layered hollow sphere of cells), or in mammals the blastocyst is reorganized into a multilayered structure known as the gastrula.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inner cell mass: A cellular mass present in the primordial embryo. It has two kinds of cells that are involved in the development of chorion, placenta, and amniotic membrane. Trophoblast: An outer layer of the blastocyst.
