The document describes the structure and early development of a fertilized egg. It shows that a fertilized egg contains a zygote surrounded by membranes and air sacs within the egg shell. The zygote undergoes cleavage to form a blastoderm with multiple blastomeres. Gastrulation then occurs as the blastoderm elongates and forms three germinal layers - the epiblast, hypoblast and mesoderm. This establishes the basis for further organ development in the early embryo.
