There are many more bones in a baby's skeleton (300 or more) because several bones will fuse to others as the baby grows. The skull is one example. Other bones are still flexiblebecause bones slowly calcify and become rigid throughout a person's lifetime.

When a human embryo is developing the embryo produces a special type of hemoglobin not found in infant child or adult blood. Why does an embryo produce a different type of hemoglobin from an infant ch?

An embryo produces a specific type of hemoglobin called fetal hemoglobin (HbF) that has a higher affinity for oxygen than the adult hemoglobin. This allows the developing embryo to efficiently obtain oxygen from the maternal blood supply through the placenta. Once born, the infant starts producing adult hemoglobin to adapt to breathing air in the postnatal environment.
