Approximately four days after fertilization, the zygote has about 100 cells and is called a blastocyst. When the blastocyst reaches the uterine lining, it floats for about two days and finally implants itself in the uterine wall around six days after fertilization. This signals the beginning of pregnancy.

A zygote is the result of the union of an ovum (egg cell) and a sperm cell. It remains a zygote until it begins to divide; at that point, the zygote becomes an embryo. In multi-cellular organisms, a zygote is the first stage of development following conception. Unlike the ovum and sperm, which each contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells, the zygote contains the full number of chromosomes normal in the somatic cells of the species. A zygote normally develops into a single embryo.
