Solution

Blastomere:
One of the cells that are produced during the cleavage of a zygote forms the morula.
Morula:
Morula is usually produced in those species the eggs of which contain little yolk and undergo complete cleavage.
Differences between blastomere and morula:
Blastomere
Morula
During the $8 -$ cell differentiation period, the blastomeres form adherens junctions and subsequently polarize along the apical-basal axis.
It contains $8 - 16$ blastomeres.
2. The blastomeres is a $4 -$ cell stage. 2. Morula is a $16 -$ cell stage.
3. Human embryos can develop individually into blastocysts with inner cell mass and trophectoderm. 3. In humans, morula consists of more than $60$ cells.
