Morula
Morula
is a stage of embryonic development in
animals,
including the 16-cell phase, the 32-cell phase, and the 64-cell phase. The morula
is produced by embryonic cleavage, the rapid
cell
division of the
zygote
with virtually no growth. The morula is a solid ball; after the 64-cell phase,
it develops into a hollow ball, the
blastula.
