Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solid ball of blastomeres that is the result of cleavage is called a morula. A blastocyst is a later stage in embryonic development, characterized by the formation of a fluid-filled cavity called the blastocele. The trophoblast is a layer of cells that will give rise to the placenta. The inner cell mass is a cluster of cells inside the blastocyst that will give rise to the embryo proper.
