Chicken embryo at 12 days

In humans, the growth of a baby inside a mother takes about 9 months.

In chickens, mice and rats this growth only takes about 3 weeks.

Question: How long does it take for cats and dogs to develop? (Dogs)
  • During this time a single cell will grow into many different cell types with different shapes and jobs to do in the body.
  • A similar process will occur in all different embryos.
  • In humans, many important changes occur in the first few weeks of development and much of the following 9 months is growth.


Lets now follow the growth and changes in the embryo over time.
