Question

The single layer of cells on the embryo's surface in Drosophila is called the cellular blastoderm, which will give rise to all somatic tissues in the organism. The micropyle is a small opening in the eggshell through which sperm enters during fertilization. The chorion is the outermost membrane of the egg. The syncytium refers to the multinucleate cytoplasmic mass formed by the fusion of many cells. Imaginal discs are clusters of undifferentiated cells in the larval stages of some insects that give rise to adult structures during metamorphosis.
