Detailed explanation-1: -How long does it take a zygote to become an embryo? It takes about five to six days for a zygote to transform into a blastocyst (a microscopic ball of cells) and then into an embryo. Within hours after sperm meets egg, the zygote divides and then continues to divide (and divide).
Detailed explanation-2: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.
Detailed explanation-3: -From Egg to Embryo First, the zygote becomes a solid ball of cells. Then it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. Inside the uterus, the blastocyst implants in the wall of the uterus, where it develops into an embryo attached to a placenta and surrounded by fluid-filled membranes.
