Difference Between Blastula and Gastrula The cavity inside the blastula is called blastocoel, and its outer single cell layer is called blastoderm. Gastrula. The continuous development of blastula finally results the gastrula. The conversion process of the blastula into gastrula is called ‘gastrulation’.Gastrulation is followed by the organogenesis. Gastrula is composed of three primary germ layers, which eventually give rise to organs in the late embryo. The primary germ layers are ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.he three germ layers of gastrula interact in various ways to form organs, hence called organogenesis. Since, blastula and gastrula occur separately as different structures in different phases, there are some differences can be observed between both structures. Blastula.

Blastula Embryo development begins with a sperm fertilizing an egg to become a zygote which undergoes many cleavages to develop into a ball of cells called a morula . Only when the blastocoele is formed does the early embryo become a blastula. The blastula precedes the formation of the gastrula in which the germ layers of the embryo form.

Archegonium Diagram of archegonium anatomy. An archegonium (pl: archegonia), from the ancient Greek ἀρχή (beginning) and γόνος (offspring), is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants, producing and containing the ovum or female gamete.The corresponding male organ is called the antheridium.he function of surrounding the gamete is assumed in large part by diploid cells of the megasporangium (nucellus) inside the ovule. Gymnosperms have their archegonium formed after pollination inside female conifer cones (megastrobili).

- The Animal Kingdom (Clade 1) is a natural, highly diverse group of organisms, most of which are multicellular and develop from a blastula (Margulis and Schwartz 1998). However, I depart from Margulis and Schwartz (1998) in that I include the choanoflagellates and the myxozoans as part of the natural group.hey are diploblastic, that is, they have two cells layers (endoderm and ectoderm) in mature animals. Endoderm is the layer that lines the gut while the ectoderm is the cellular layer on the outside of the animal.

lab 3 sample ap mitosis & meiosis Meiosis and crossing over occurs in the production of gametes and spores. Mitosis is the first of these studied in this lab. It is easily observed in cells that are growing at a rapid pace such as whitefish blastula or onion root tips, which are used in this lab.The root tips contain an area called the apical meristem that has the highest percentage of cells undergoing mitosis.xplain why the whitefish blastula and onion root tips are selected for a study of mitosis. The blastula is a hollow ball of cells that forms from the fertilization of an egg. Rapid growth occurs and numerous cellular divisions making mitosis in various stages easy to observe.

Morula A morula (Latin, morus: mulberry) is an early stage embryo consisting of cells (called blastomeres) in a solid ball contained within the zona pellucida.he morula is produced by a series of cleavage divisions of the early embryo, starting with the single-celled zygote. Once the embryo has divided into 16 cells, it begins to resemble a mulberry, hence the name morula (Latin, morus: mulberry).

Fertilization and Early Embryonic Development The typical blastula is a ball of cells. The next stage in embryonic development is the formation of the body plan. The cells in the blastula rearrange themselves spatially to form three layers of cells in a process known as gastrulation.

Gastrulation It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation, which is truly the most important time in your life.. Lewis Wolpert (1986) During gastrulation, cell movements result in a massive reorganization of the embryo from a simple spherical ball of cells, the blastula, into a multi-layered organism. During gastrulation, many of the cells at or near the surface of the embryo move to a new, more interior location. The primary germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm) are formed and organized in their proper locations during gastrulation.

Gastrulation These three germ layers are known as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In diploblastic organisms, such as Cnidaria and Ctenophora, the gastrula has only ectoderm and endoderm. Gastrulation takes place after cleavage and the formation of the blastula. Gastrulation is followed by organogenesis, when individual organs develop within the newly formed germ layers. Each layer gives rise to specific tissues and organs in the developing embryo.

Difference Between Morula and Blastula But blastula is a hollow structure, due to the presence of fluid-filled space called blastocoel. • Trophoblast cells are present in blastula unlike in morula. • Unlike in blastula, morula consists of an inner and outer cell masses. • Duration of the formation of morula is lower than the formation of the blastula. During the embryonic development, zygote transforms to morula and then morula transforms to blastula. • The cells inside the morula are larger than the cells that form blastula. • The number of cells in blastula is larger than that in morula.

Protostomiaâ Overview Protostomia (from Greek meaning mouth first) are a clade of animals. Together with the deuterostomes and other phyla, they make up the Bilateria, mostly comprising animals with bilateral symmetry and three germ layers.The major distinctions between deuterostomes and protostomes are found in embryonic development.In animals at least as complex as earthworms, the embryo forms a dent on one side, the blastopore, which deepens to become the archenteron, the first phase in the growth of the gut.rotostomia (from Greek meaning mouth first) are a clade of animals.

Blastula Stage: Definition, Formation & Transitions After about seven cell divisions, the embryo has become a blastula consisting of at least 128 cells. If you were to look inside the blastula, you would see that most of it is empty space. This empty space characterizes the blastula and is called the blastocoel. During the blastula stage of development, two different types of cells are present. The trophoblast is the outer layer of cells, which will eventually become the placenta. The other cells within the blastula are called the inner cell mass.

Primitive streak The primitive streak is a structure that forms in the blastula during the early stages of avian, reptilian and mammalian embryonic development.The presence of the primitive streak will establish bilateral symmetry, determine the site of gastrulation and initiate germ layer formation.he formation of the primitive streak in the blastocyst involves the coordinated movement and re-arrangement of cells in the epiblast. Even before the streak is visible, epiblast cells have started to move. Two counter-rotating flows of cells meet at the posterior end, where the streak forms.

Human Early Embryo Development In organisms that reproduce sexually, once a Sperm fertilizes an Egg cell, the result is a cell called the Zygote. In animals, the development of the Zygote into an embryo proceeds through specific recognizable stages of Blastula, Gastrula, and Organogenesis.y the third to fourth day the embryo develops to a compact ball of twelve or more cells called a Morula. After several more divisions, the Morula cells begin to specialize and form a hollow sphere of cells called a Blastocyst or Blastula.
