Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Embryology (from Greek , embryon, “the unborn, embryo"; and-, -logia) is the branch of animal biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Embryology is a branch of science that is related to the formation, growth, and development of embryo. It deals with the prenatal stage of development beginning from formation of gametes, fertilization, formation of zygote, development of embryo and fetus to the birth of a new individual.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fertilization is a complex multi-step process that is complete in 24 hours. The sperm from a male meets an ovum from a female and forms a zygote; this is the point in which pregnancy begins and leads to a 280-day journey for a female. There are two ways to track this process, and they differ by the day counting begins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct sequence in development is Fertilization → Zygote → Cleavage → Morula → Blastula → Gastrula.

Detailed explanation-5: -Embryology is the study of embryo development. This includes the developmental process of a single-cell embryo to a baby. Embryology usually refers to the prenatal development of a foetus. Embryology is an important research area to know about the impact of mutation and the progression of genetic disorders.
