What structure of the mother does the fetal pig develop?
The fetal pig develops within the uterus of the mother, where it is nourished and protected by the placenta. The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the developing piglet.
What is the food source for a fetal pig?

If a section of a lung is cut from a fetal pig and dropped in a glass of water it will sink as it contains no air. Give an explanation why the lung of a fetal pig would not contain air.?
The lungs of a fetal pig do not contain air because a developing fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta, not from breathing air. Therefore, there is no need for the lungs to be inflated with air until birth when the piglet starts breathing independently.
