When a sperm and an egg join together they form a zygote. This is what a baby originates as. A zygote is only one cell. A single cell grows/duplicates to multiple cells by the process of mitosis. Mitosis is when a 'parent' cell breaks off into two 'daughter' cells. The daughter cells carry the same genetic material as the parent cell. The daughter cells do the same thing until there are a ton of cells and a baby is formed.

ANSWERThere are 6 stages of embryonic development needed to create a new human:

1) Gamete formation - eggs and sperm are produced by 2 sexually mature humans.

2) Fertilization: the union of one egg and one sperm meet in the female fallopian tube.

a) the sperm penetrates the clear zone around the egg - immediately cortical granules

lock out any other sperm.

b) The egg and sperm and nuclei fuse - creating the first cell of a new diploid human

zygote.

3) Cleavage: Following conception - mitotic cell division - the zygote becomes multicellular

a) Day 1 - 1 cell becomes 2 ( first cleavage )

b) Day 2 - 2 cells become 4

c) Day 3 - 4 cells become 8 (or more!)

d) Day 4 - 16 to 32 cells become a solid ball of cells -

4) a morula -

a) Day 5 - the solid morula becomes a hollow, fluid-filled blastula - an embryo will

develop from the inner cell mass

b) Day 6 - 8 implantation - blastocyst secretes hCG - estrogen and progesterone stop

menstruation - some women develop morning sickness

c) Day 7 - 10 - cellular reorganization into 2 or 3 tissue layers: Gastrulation - the cells

have the same DNA but the switch is flicked for different genes to become different

organs - the new embryo has 3 layers - Gastrula -

Ectoderm: skin, nervous system

Endoderm: lining of gut and internal organs

Mesoderm: muscles, bones, heart

5) Day 10 - 14: Pregnancy becomes established - EPT now measures hCG - TEST +

Embryo starts to form from embryonic disc - Chorion starts to form (placenta)

a) Day 15 - 21: the vertebrate form is evident

b ) Day 21 - Week 8 (Embryo) - organs are formed

c) Day 22 Heart starts beating

d) Day 48 - week 7 detectable brain waves

6) Week 9 - 40 Fetal organs mature / brain and lung development - until birth

What happens when the babies grow in the eggs?

When baby animals grow in eggs they are growing their organs that are needed. The eggs help protect the baby while it grows big enough to live outside the egg.

When the sperm meets the womans egg then the baby starts growing from then. If you need more info on this I would ask my parents.


Is a human baby born in a egg?

No. All fetuses start off as a cell which is called an egg. But human babies are not inside an egg like baby chickens are when chicks are born. Human babies do not need a shell, because the mommy's belly gives the fetus protection for the entire time. Chicks must grow inside the egg shell but outside of their mommy's belly.


Why do ladies have babies?

Women have babies because men were not made for that purpose. One gender has to provide the sperm cell and one has to provide the egg cell and the place to grow the baby.

no, they just develop the organs in the egg but as they go out from the egg they are still baby's and grow bigger ( just like humans )


How are babies made by humans?

Babies are made when a sperm cell from a man fertilizes an egg cell from a woman. This fertilization typically occurs through sexual intercourse. The fertilized egg then implants itself in the woman's uterus to grow and develop into a baby over the course of around nine months.
