Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of the three periods of prenatal development is germinal, embryonic, and fetal. The germinal period is the first stage of prenatal development, occurring from conception to about two weeks after conception. The embryonic period follows the germinal period and lasts from the third week to the eighth week of pregnancy. The fetal period is the longest period, beginning at the ninth week of pregnancy and continuing until birth.
