A zygote
(Greek: ζυγωτόν) is a cell
that is the result of fertilization.
That is, two haploid cells—usually
(but not always) an ovum from a female
and a sperm cell from a male—merge
into a single diploid cell called
the zygote (or zygocyte).

Animal zygotes
undergo mitotic cell divisions
to become an embryo.
Other organisms may undergo
meiotic cell division at this time

The conceptus is an "embryo" thru the 1st 8wks of prg. Then it's a fetus... The "embryos" shown in RB's video were probably mid 2nd trimester fetuses. Abortion at that late stage of prg is typically related to fetal defect, and does not occur that frequently...

you should be certain of your knowledge otherwise it reflects on the rest of your facts. go imediately to a library and read about embryology
