Question
How does a single called fertilized egg grows into an adult human body?
Solution
Fertilized egg i.e., the zygote divides and redivides and forms a ball of cells. This is a kind of embryo and it reaches the uterus and gets attached to the wall of the uterus. This fixing of embryo to the uterus is called implantation. Now the embryo undergoes a process “specialisation of cells’’. It leads to the formation of different parts of the body. This process is called differentiation. It leads to the formation of various tissues and other organs and thus organ systems are formed. The organ system leads to the formation of an individual. Thus the zygote forms an embryo, it forms a baby and it forms an adult.
