This embryo began as a fertilized egg; two individual gametes joined to produce one diploid cell. what processes have been responsible for the development seen here, once the egg is fertilized?

The right answer is mitosis - cytokinesis- cell differentiation.

Mitosis, from the Greek mitos which means "filament" (referring to the appearance of chromosomes in microscopy), refers to the chromosomal events of the cell division of eukaryotes. This is a nonsexual / asexual duplication (unlike meiosis). It is the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells strictly identical genetically.

Cytokinesis, cytokinesis or cytodiérèse consists of the physical separation of the cytoplasm in two cells during cell division. Cytokinesis is the part of the cell division process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.

Cell differentiation is a concept of developmental biology describing the process by which cells specialize in a cellular "type". The morphology of a cell can change dramatically during differentiation, but the genetic material remains the same, with a few exceptions.
