Q5. Differentiate between embryo, zygote, foetus​

Answer 1

$\huge \text{Answer }$

➡Embryo: an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development, in particular a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization (after which it is usually termed a fetus).

➡Zygote: A zygote is the union of the sperm cell and the egg cell. Also known as a fertilized ovum, the zygote begins as a single cell but divides rapidly in the days following fertilization. After this two-week period of cell division, the zygote eventually becomes an embryo.

➡ Foetus: an unborn or unhatched offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception.

Answer 2

Answer:

The zygote is the initial stage in baby development. It is also known as a fertilized ovum formed from the union of the sperm cell and the egg cell. Foetus refers to the final stage in baby development. An embryo is termed as the foetus in the beginning in the 11th week of pregnancy.
