Question

• A. During the 7${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-8${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ week
• B. During the 7${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-8${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ months
• C. During the 12${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-16${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ weeks
• D. During the 12${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-16${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ weeks

Answer 1

The correct option is A During the 7${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-8${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ week

Pregnancy is the condition in which one or more offspring are developing inside the female reproductive system.

In humans, the testes of a male baby are formed during the 7${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-8${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ week of pregnancy. Their formation is intraabdominal.

But, the testes descend into the scrotum during the 7${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-8${}^{\mathrm{th}}$months of pregnancy.

During the 12${}^{\mathrm{th}}$-16${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ weeks, the complete formation and development of the placenta occur.

During the 5${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ -6${}^{\mathrm{th}}$ month, the reproductive system develops significantly.
