Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The germinal stage is the first stage of prenatal development and lasts from fertilization (the union of an egg and sperm) until approximately two weeks after conception. During this stage, the fertilized egg grows into a multicellular organism consisting of hundreds of cells.

Answer: C
 The embryonic stage is the second stage of prenatal development and lasts from approximately two to eight weeks after conception. During this stage, the facial features and other major bodily structures begin to form, and the embryo becomes more distinguishable as a human.

Answers B and D are incorrect. In the perinatal stage, the baby is preparing for and undergoing birth, while in the fetal stage, the baby is continuing to grow and develop until birth. The first cell is formed in the germinal stage, not the perinatal stage. Fertilization takes place at the beginning of the germinal stage, not the fetal stage.
