Sixteen-cell mouse embryo, confocal microscopy and 3D virtual embryo processing. The blue, green and yellow cells, each called a blastomere, have divided from a single fertilised cell (zygote). The yellow cells are most likely to form the foetus. The green cells are most likely to form the placenta. The blue cells will contribute to both the foetus and the placenta. The red cell is a polar body, formed during maturation of the egg cell. | |
