Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall occurs during the germinal period, which lasts approximately 2 weeks after conception. During this time, the zygote undergoes rapid cell division and travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it implants itself in the uterine lining. The formation of organs, differentiation of arms and legs, and formation of the neural tube occur during the embryonic period, which follows the germinal period.
