Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The germ disc, also known as the blastoderm, is the small cluster of cells near the center of a zygote that will eventually develop into the fetus or baby. The placenta and amnion are also important structures in fetal development, but they develop from different cells and tissues than the germ disc. Therefore, A) placenta and B) amnion are incorrect choices. C) fetus is a possible answer, but it doesn't specifically refer to the small cluster of cells near the center of the zygote, so D) germ disc is the best answer.
