One-cell embryo, also called a zygote, or a two pronuclear embryo

Male and female genetic material (DNA) is in the 2
pronuclei (circles) in the center
A polar body is seen at one o'clock - just under the shell

The (ovarian) cumulus cells around the egg (see egg images) have been stripped off. This is what we see at the "fertilization check" the morning after the IVF egg retrieval procedure. Evidence of fertilization is shown by the presence of the 2 pronuclei. Without fertilization, the egg would look the same, but without any pronuclei.
