Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At four months into the pregnancy, the embryo has already undergone significant developmental changes and is now considered a fetus. Gametes are the reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that come together to form a zygote, which is the first stage of development after fertilization. Zygotes eventually develop into embryos, and then into fetuses later on. However, at the four month mark, the term "embryo" would no longer be accurate.
