Pregnancy(2025-2026)

 Vocabulary:  Zygote, embryo, fetus, gestation, implantation

Each bolded word above, or "step", has it own "World" of vocabulary that comes from their individual powerpoints:

Organs:  ovary, testicles, penis, uterus, vagina, etc.

Gametes:  spermatozoon, ovum, meiosis, haploid, diploid.

Fertilization: occurs in fallopian tube; ovum lives for 1 day; sperm for 5 days; these two time frames overlap to create a woman's "fertile period".

Pregnancy:  Zygote, embryo, fetus, ovulation, implantation, placenta, umbilical cord.
