    • Baby

Therefore, the correct answer is "Zygote."

    The baby recieves nutrients from it's mother through what?

    • Placenta

    • Fallopian Tube

    • Umbilical Cord

    • Bellybutton

    Correct Answer
    A. Umbilical Cord
    Explanation
    The baby receives nutrients from its mother through the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord connects the baby to the placenta, which is attached to the mother's uterus. The placenta acts as a bridge between the mother and the baby, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass from the mother's bloodstream to the baby's bloodstream through the umbilical cord. This cord also carries waste products from the baby back to the mother for elimination.

    • Fifth Month

    • Second Month

    • Sixth Month

    • Eighth Month

    Correct Answer
    A. Fifth Month
    Explanation
    During the first trimester, the baby is still too small and the movements are not strong enough for the mother to feel them. It is usually in the second trimester when the baby grows and becomes more active, allowing the mother to feel the movements. The fifth month falls within the second trimester, making it the correct answer.

    After fertilization, the egg must move down the fallopian tubes into the uterus. There it implants and begins to grow. If the egg implants in the fallopian tube very serious complications may occur and the woman must terminate her pregnancy. An egg implanted in the fallopian tube is called a ___?

    • Fallopian Pregnancy

    • Terminal Pregnancy

    • Non-Uterun Pregnancy

    • Ectopic Pregnancy

    Correct Answer
    A. Ectopic Pregnancy
    Explanation
    After fertilization, the egg normally travels down the fallopian tubes into the uterus where it implants and grows. However, if the egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, it is called an ectopic pregnancy. This can lead to serious complications for the woman and the pregnancy cannot continue in the fallopian tube. Therefore, the correct answer is Ectopic Pregnancy.

    During the ninth month, what forms on the fetus which allows it to regulate its body temperature and be born safely? If the baby was born before this is formed, it would have to spend time in an incubator.

    • Heart

    • Fat Cells

    • Glucose Cells

    • Temperature Regulating Brain Cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Fat Cells
    Explanation
    During the ninth month of pregnancy, fat cells form on the fetus which allows it to regulate its body temperature and be born safely. These fat cells act as insulation and help to keep the baby warm after birth. If the baby is born before these fat cells are fully developed, it would have difficulty in regulating its body temperature and would need to spend time in an incubator to maintain a stable temperature.

    During which month can a fetus open it's eyes?

    • Fifth Month

    • Seventh Month

    • Fourth Month

    • Sixth Month

    Correct Answer
    A. Sixth Month
    Explanation
    During the sixth month of pregnancy, a fetus can open its eyes. This is because by this stage of development, the fetus's eyelids have fully formed and are no longer fused shut. The opening of the eyes allows the fetus to begin practicing the blinking reflex and also helps in the development of the visual system.
