Question

Which is the correct sequence
Options
A Blastula - Blastomeres - Blastocoel - morula
B Blastula - Blastomeres - morula - gastrula
C Blastula - Blastomeres - morula
Correct Answer
D Blastula - morula - Blastomeres
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This sequence is incorrect. The correct developmental sequence is: Zygote -> Cleavage (produces blastomeres) -> Morula (solid ball of cells) -> Blastula (hollow ball with blastocoel) -> Gastrula. None of the options are fully correct. Option C has blastula before morula, which is wrong. Perhaps the question has a typo and meant to start with zygote. Given the options, C is the least incorrect if we ignore the starting point, as it at least lists the key stages in some order. This is a poorly constructed question.

Hint

Think about the order from a solid ball of cells to a hollow one.
