Understanding Gestation Periods in Animals and Humans
Gestation is the period of time during which a developing embryo or fetus grows and develops inside the uterus of a female animal, including humans. It is the time between conception and birth, and it typically lasts for around 9 months in humans. During this time, the fertilized egg, now called a zygote, undergoes rapid cell division and growth, eventually forming a fully developed fetus. The gestation period can vary depending on the species of animal, with some animals having shorter or longer gestation periods than humans.
