Fetal Development Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

The time period immediately following fertilization results in which circumstance?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Formation of a zygote that contains the diploid number of chromosomes. After fertilization, the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes (diploid). This is crucial for genetic diversity and proper development. Choice A is incorrect because a zygote is diploid, not haploid. Choice B is incorrect as an embryo is formed later in development and contains diploid chromosomes. Choice D is incorrect because a morula is a stage where the zygote undergoes several rounds of cell division, but it does not yet contain a full diploid set of chromosomes.

Question 2 of 5

At which point in the pregnancy can a woman first feel fetal movement (quickening)?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (20 weeks) because quickening, the first perception of fetal movement by the mother, typically occurs around this time. At 20 weeks, the fetus is large enough for its movements to be noticeable to the mother. Before 20 weeks, the fetus is too small and the movements are not strong enough to be felt. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are too early in the pregnancy for the mother to feel fetal movement. By 20 weeks, the fetus has developed enough for the mother to perceive its movements, making option C the correct answer.
