Question

What is blastocoel?

Answer 1

Answer:

A blastocoel is also termed the blastocyst cavity or cleavage or segmentation cavity is the name given to the fluid-filled cavity of the blastula (blastocyst) that results from cleavage of the ovum after fertilization.

The blastocoel probably serves two major functions in frog embryos:

(1) it permits cell migration during gastrulation.

(2) it prevents the cells beneath it from interacting prematurely with the cells above it.

The blastocoel plays an important role in development of cell as it sets the stage for future growth and change in the cells of the early embryo.

Answer 2

The blastocoel is fluid filled spaced that forms within the fertilized egg on the 5th day after conception. A fertilized egg at this stage of development is called a blastocyst
