What is the Baby-To-Be Called After 9 Weeks of Development

Question

What is the baby-to-be called after 9 weeks of development?
A) Zygote
B) Fetus
C) Embryo
D) Neonate

Accepted Answer

After 9 weeks of development, the baby-to-be is considered a fetus. The zygote stage only lasts around 2 weeks after fertilization, while the embryo stage lasts from around 3 weeks to 8 weeks of development. The term neonate refers to a newborn baby after it is born, so it is not applicable to the baby-to-be at 9 weeks of development.
