The germinal stage makes up the first two weeks of prenatal development, from conception to implantation, where the zygote implants itself into the uterine wall. When the egg is fertilized, it begins the period of the zygote (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2014, p.42). The zygote undergoes a period of rapid cell division, which happens about 24-36 hours…
