Question 3

At about what age is the developing embryo called a foetus?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Nine weeks. By then it is submerged in the fluid held within the amniotic membranes.

Six weeks is when those protective membranes develop, and three months is when the foetus takes a human form — both are real milestones, just not this one.

Answer the question to continue.
