A sperm joins with the egg and their nuclei fuse to form a zygote. The zygote will begin dividing by mitosis to form many (smaller) cells. We call this process in development ________ and the resulting mass of smaller cells is called a ________. Question 2 While the newly-fertilized egg is still in the uterine tube (also known as fallopian tube) it begins dividing into many smaller cells. These cells will then float up to the outside of a fluid-filled ball. This embryonic stage is known as the ________.
