Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Step 5 refers to the process of implantation, where the blastocyst (formed after several divisions of the fertilized egg) attaches and burrows into the lining of the uterus. This is a crucial step for the embryo to receive nutrients from the mother and establish a stable pregnancy. Fertilization (A) occurs when the sperm and egg fuse, forming a zygote. Morula (B) is the stage where the zygote has divided into a solid ball of cells. Blastocyst (C) is the stage where the ball of cells has formed a fluid-filled cavity and differentiated into two types of cells.
