- Noun:
- Sau khi thụ tinh, hợp tử bắt đầu phân chia và tạo thành các phôi bào. (After fertilization, the zygote begins to divide and forms blastomeres.)
- Mỗi phôi bào đều có tiềm năng phát triển. (Each blastomere has developmental potential.)
Advanced Usage
- In assisted reproductive technology, the quality and number of blastomeres in an early-stage embryo are key indicators assessed for potential successful implantation.
- Các bác sĩ đánh giá chất lượng phôi dựa trên hình thái và số lượng phôi bào. (Doctors evaluate embryo quality based on the morphology and number of blastomeres.)
Variants and Related Words
- Phôi (n): embryo.
- Tế bào phôi (n): embryonic cell (a more general term that can include blastomeres and later embryonic cells).
- Phân cắt phôi (n): embryonic cleavage (the process that produces blastomeres).
Synonyms
