Give two differences between a zygote and a foetus.


Zygote



Foetus



Zygote is unicellular.



Foetus is multicellular.



Well defined body parts are absent in zygote



In foetus, the body parts can be seen.



It is a fertilized egg formed after the fusion of the sperm with the egg.



It is a stage of the embryo that shows all the main recognizable body parts of a mature organism.



The zygote divides several times to form an embryo.



An embryo gradually develops into a foetus.
