Title: How many times must a fertilised egg divide to form a normal term baby?
Post by: thedoc on 17/05/2016 11:50:02

Donald piniach asked the Naked Scientists:
   How many times must a fertilized 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?
What do you think?
