2-cell embryo embryo, artwork
2-cell embryo. Image 2 of 4. Computer model representing 2 daughter cells. The development of an embryo is called embryogenesis. In organisms that reproduce sexually, once a sperm fertilizes an egg cell, the result is a cell that has all the DNA of the two parents (zygote). The zygote begins to divide by mitosis producing 2, 4, 6, 8 cells and so on, to form a multicellular organism. The result of this process is an embryo. For a sequence representing mitosis and embryo development see images P680/0943-P680/0946

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a 2-cell embryo, represented through an exquisite computer model. Embryogenesis, the remarkable process of embryo development, unfolds as two daughter cells emerge from this initial stage. In sexually reproducing organisms, such as humans, when a sperm fertilizes an egg cell, it gives rise to a zygote that carries the combined DNA of both parents. The zygote embarks on its transformative journey by undergoing mitosis - division and replication - resulting in the formation of multiple cells. This mesmerizing sequence continues with each round of division yielding 2,4,6, and eventually countless cells until they collectively shape into a complex multicellular organism. Through this artwork's meticulous portrayal and attention to detail, we gain insight into the origins of life itself. The delicate balance between biology and reproduction is unveiled before our eyes as we witness the very beginnings of human existence. This image serves as a testament to the wonders of developmental biology and embryology. It delves into the realm of cytology and cell biology while shedding light on crucial physiological processes like mitosis and embryogenesis. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this pivotal moment in cellular life with their thought-provoking artistry. As we gaze upon this print's cut-out depiction of daughter cells emerging from their origin point, we are reminded once again how truly extraordinary every step in our biological journey is.
