Question 5 • Biology

Which best describes the relationship of the embryo and the fetus?

Answer
A
The fetus is more developed than the embryo.
B
The embryo has more cells than the fetus has.
C
The embryo and the fetus are both formed when the sperm and egg fuse.
D
The fetus differentiates into the embryo and the placenta.

Explanation

The embryo is the early stage of development after fertilization. Later, it is called a fetus as it continues to grow and develop, so the fetus is more developed than the embryo. The other choices are incorrect: the sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote, and a fetus does not develop into an embryo or placenta.
