Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of prenatal stages of development is Germinal, Embryonic, and Fetal. During the germinal period, the fertilized egg divides into multiple cells and attaches to the uterine wall. During the embryonic period, major organs and body systems begin to form. The fetal period is marked by further development and growth of the body systems and organs. Option A is incorrect as it puts "fetal" second; Option C is incorrect as it reverses the order of the germinal and embryonic stages. Option D is incorrect as it puts "germinal" last.
