The foetus completes its growth within the _____
22 pairs of chromosomes.
An ovum is produced in the ovary. From the ovary, it is released into the oviduct. Ovum is fertilised by the sperm to give rise to a zygote inside the oviduct. The zygote divides to form an embryo which is implanted into the uterus. Inside the uterus the umbilical cord is a tube-like structure that connects a fetus to the mother's placenta, providing oxygen and nutrient-rich blood and removing waste. The embryo completes its development inside the amnion. Amnion is a membranous covering formed by the embryonic cells during the early stages of growth. Amnion is filled with amniotic fluid which prevents dehydration and protects the growing embryo from mechanic shocks.
