Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To define: Cell differentiation and morphogenesis and the two processes that are critical for development.
Introduction: Gestation or pregnancy is the period during which offspring develops within a woman. This involves several developmental stages of fetus. In humans, pregnancy is nearly nine months long, divided into three trimesters, involving several changes in the mother and the growing fetus.
