Question 7

By the end of which month does the foetus take a human form, with the genitalia developed and nails beginning to form on the fingers?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Month 3. The head is comparatively large beside the rest of the body at this stage.

The six months that follow add almost no new parts — they are spent on size, fat and readiness. Month 5 is when the mother first feels movement and the heartbeat can be heard from outside; month 9 is full term, at about 2½ to 3½ kg.

Answer the question to continue.
