Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 6 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is in the embryonic stage of development. In this stage, the organs and body systems begin to form. The germinal stage is the first 2 weeks after conception when the zygote is formed and begins to divide. The zygotic stage refers specifically to the first few days after fertilization when the zygote begins to divide. The fetal stage begins around week 9 and lasts until birth when the fetus grows and matures.
