Open in App
Solution

Implantation:

  1. The embryo becomes embedded or implanted in the uterus due to the presence of uterine wall.
  2. In the uterus, the embryo continues to develop into a fully grown foetus during the gestation period.
  3. This outer layer of the blastocyst eventually develops into the placenta, which serves as a source of nutrition as well as a conduit for the exchange of gases and waste products between the mother's and the foetus' bodies.
