Drawing of the head of a four-week-old human embryo. From Gray's Anatomy. Embryo drawing is the illustration of embryos in their developmental sequence. In plants and animals, an embryo develops from a zygote, the single cell that results when an egg and sperm fuse during fertilization. In animals, the zygote divides repeatedly to form a ball ...
Drawing of a fetus in utero. Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo , and later fetus , inside viviparous animals (the embryo develops within the parent). [ 1 ] It is typical for mammals , but also occurs for some non-mammals.
