Answer:
In the context of sexual reproduction, this part of life cycle occurs in this order:
- Cell division
- Fertilization
- Zygote
- Blastocyst
- Implantation
- Embrión
- Fetus
Explanation:
How a cell comes to produce a living being, during the process of sexual reproduction, can be explained briefly:
- The cell division responsible for producing gametes is called meiosis, where haploid cells are obtained.
- Fertilization involves the union of gametes from both parents, producing a diploid cell called a zygote.
- The zygote undergoes a process of division, giving rise to a structure called a morula, which in turn gives rise to the blastocyst.
- The blastocyst is the structure that is implanted in the maternal uterus, giving rise to the embryo, the placenta and all the attached placental structures.
- The embryo is the new developing organism, which in the human being is called this until the 9th week of gestation.
- After the 10th week, the product of sexual reproduction is called a fetus.
With this process of sexual reproduction, the organisms fulfill one of their functions, which is to perpetuate the species.
