Title: How many divisions to turn a fertilised egg into a baby?
Post by: thedoc on 18/05/2016 09:44:37

How many times must a fertilised ovum divide to form a normal term baby? Does this account for the placenta and apoptosis? How many cells are in a newborn? How fast is the cell division curve in each month?
