Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When a fertilized egg has implanted in the uterus, the group of cells that will become a baby is called an embryo. A developing, fertilized egg is known by several names within the first 2 weeks after conception, including zygote, morula (day 4), and blastocyst (day 5).
Detailed explanation-2: -Now called an “egg” (or “ovum”, for those who like a bit of Latin), it will travel down the fallopian tube, ready to be fertilised by sperm swimming towards it. If the egg is fertilised by sperm, it’s now called a “zygote”.
