A second egg stage or the stage in an egg's development after the first division of the nucleus.
From Latin 'deutero-' (from Greek second) combined with 'ovum' (egg). A technical biological term describing a specific point in egg cell division.
While 'ovum' just means egg, deutovum is the biology world's way of saying 'egg in its second major stage'—scientists needed precise language to track the tiniest moments of when life begins!
