When the sperm managed to fertilize the ovum then formed a zygote, this zygote then undergoes self-pembehana several times to form a spherical cell called blastula. Blastula then grows into a ciliated larvae. This larva will find the right place to grow into a polyp. The polyps then grow steadily until they expand and form new buds called strobilization). Over time buds will release one by one into the water into efira, efira then turned into medusa and grow into a mature medusa.

    Similarities from the yolk stages of many organisms make it easy for scientists to relate their research to other organisms for stronger results. “The fish, amphibian, and chicken embryos were like nothing I had ever seen before in biology. They all looked generally alike” (98). Knowing how similar these organisms are in the yolk stages helps scientists understand the differences in the development of these organisms. The yolk stages really define how a-like these organisms are and how we have a inner-fish, inner-frog, inner-anything.…

(Art. 1) When an organism’s characteristics do not quite fit into the fungus, plant, or animal kingdoms, they get classified into the Protist kingdom.(Article 1)”When scientists can’t figure out where to put organisms that do not match with the characteristics of a particular kingdom, they are placed in the Protista Kingdom.…

    1.1 Describe stages of development from conception to birth. When an egg is fertilised it is a single cell called a Zygote, in the next 24-36 hours the single cell will divide into two cells, 12 hours after it will divide into four cells, and will carry on dividing which forms a cluster of cells which are called a monula. Three – four days after it has been fertilised the monula will move from the fallopian tube and will enter the uterus. At about six days the monula will form a hollow cavity which is known as a blastocyst. The blastocyst will burrow itself into the uterus lining this is called implantation.…
