Question 5 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Which of the following statements about embryos is true?

Answer
A
A fetus turns into an embryo at around nine weeks.
B
An embryo turns into a fetus at around nine weeks.
C
An embryo turns into a zygote at around nine weeks.
D
A zygote turns into an embryo at around nine weeks.

Explanation

The developing human is called an embryo during the early weeks after fertilization. At about nine weeks, it is generally called a fetus, so the true statement is that an embryo turns into a fetus at around nine weeks. A zygote is the earlier, single-cell stage, not a stage reached at nine weeks.
