fertilized egg cell: an egg cell that has been fertilized by a sperm cell.
fetus: results from a developing embryo at about eight weeks when the embryo is somewhat human looking and the remaining development consists chiefly of growth and maturation.

Yet, all of the different cell types in the human body are all derived from a single fertilized egg cell through differentiation.

zygote Diploid cell produced by the fusion of an egg and sperm; fertilized egg cell.
zygotic meiosis. Meiosis that takes place within the first few divisions after zygote formation; thus all stages in the life cycle other than the zygote are haploid.

Another way of cloning is by parthenogenesis, where an unfertilized egg cell is induced to divide and grow as if it were fertilized. This technique only works on females.

[L. from medius - middle]. In reference to cleavage, the splitting of the fertilized egg cell along a vertical plane at right angles to the equator.
