Question

The embryo proper develops from the
a. inner cell mass.
b. trophoblast.
c. blastocele.
d. yolk sac.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The embryo is an early stage of a developing organism. Embryonic development is a part of the life cycle that occurs after fertilization and implantation. The embryo after completing gestation period develops into a mature offspring.

Step 2

Inner cell mass is also called embryoblast. It is a part of the developing embryo which gives rise to the foetus. It is formed before implantation of the embryo into the endometrium of the uterus. It is present inside the blastocoel/blastocele. The trophoblast surrounds the inner cell mass as it lies inside in the blastocoele.
Thus, the correct answer is option ‘a’.
