During the formation of an embryo, the hollow ball of cells having a fluid-filled cavity is called
A
morula.
B
blastula.
C
blastocoel.
D
gastrula.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -blastula, hollow sphere of cells, or blastomeres, produced during the development of an embryo by repeated cleavage of a fertilized egg. The cells of the blastula form an epithelial (covering) layer, called the blastoderm, enclosing a fluid-filled cavity, the blastocoel .

Detailed explanation-2: -Organism at the blastula stage-an early stage of embryonic development in animals. It is produced by cleavage of a fertilized ovum and consists of a spherical layer of around 128 cells surrounding a central fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel.

Detailed explanation-3: -A blastocyst is a ball of cells that forms early in a pregnancy, about five to six days after a sperm fertilizes an egg. It implants in your uterine wall, eventually becoming the embryo and then the fetus. Appointments 216.444.6601.

Detailed explanation-4: -The blastula is usually a spherical layer of cells (the blastoderm) surrounding a fluid-filled or yolk-filled cavity (the blastocoel).

Detailed explanation-5: -The blastocoel is a fluid-filled cavity characteristic of animal embryos at the blastula stage. Its emergence is commonly described as the result of cleavage patterning, but this historical view conceals a large diversity of mechanisms and overlooks many unsolved questions from a biophysics perspective.
