Post by: oapplesauce on Jan 16, 2012
I need to know because I didn't get the question because I thought the zygote was the egg and I thought you only get like one egg a month and every time you have your period you get a new egg so I was thinking about a month but I'm not sure so please hep me...

The zygote is the fertilized egg. After 72 hours it divides to eight cells  and then i believe it enters the morula stage.

It is a zygote once the egg and sperm nuclei fuse.  The first division to form the cleavage stages ends its time as the zygote.
