Human Prenatal Development Takes ________ Weeks

Question

Human prenatal development takes ________ weeks.
A)28
B)32
C)38
D)44

Accepted Answer

Human prenatal development typically takes approximately 38 weeks (or 9 months) from conception to birth. However, some sources may cite a range of 37-42 weeks as within the normal range for a full-term pregnancy. Option A) 28 weeks is incorrect as this would only represent approximately 7 months of prenatal development. Option B) 32 weeks is also incorrect as this falls below the normal range for a full-term pregnancy. Option D) 44 weeks is incorrect as this would represent an extended period of time beyond the typical range for a full-term pregnancy.
