  3. Actually, the sperm and egg nuclei just join together to produce it.
  4. Also, it is a single-celled organism.
  5. And it is produced just by following the fertilization activities.

Fetus:

  1. The term "fetus" describes the infant at its most advanced stage.
  2. And in the beginning, in the eleventh week of pregnancy, an embryo is referred to as the fetus.
  3. It is actually a stage of the embryo that just nearly resembles a human being.
  4. Also, it is the multicellular one.
  5. And it is produced by cell division as well as fertilization.
