Expert Answer
(a) The figure represents the blastula stage of human embryo (also called blastocyst).
(b) The ‘a’ in the figure is trophoblast (trophoectoderm). The trophoblast gives rise to extra-embryonic membranes for protection and nourishment of the embryo.
(c) The inner cell mass (after implantation in the uterus) gives rise to three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm) or simply embryo.
(d) Inner cell mass (embryonal knob) represents the stem cells.
