The fetus has a higher temperature than the mother due to its metabolic processes, which generate heat as the body develops and grows. The placenta, which facilitates nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and fetus, also contributes to this temperature difference by acting as a heat source. Additionally, the fetus is insulated within the amniotic fluid and the uterine environment, which helps maintain its elevated temperature. This higher temperature is crucial for optimal fetal development.
Generally,yes.
Several hundreds of millions of times larger in volume, if not even larger.
The liver is much larger in the fetus than it is shortly after birth. In the fetus, the liver's main functions include producing red blood cells and breaking down waste products, which requires a larger size. After birth, the liver's functions shift, and it decreases in size as other organs take on more roles in metabolism.
No. A mother viper will abandon her young after giving birth. Snakes can eat prey larger than their heads, but not larger than themselves.
There can be anything from 1 to 13. Young mothers produce more puppies than older mothers. Wolves and dogs actually fertilise more fetuses than are sometimes born. Sometimes the fetus is absorbed back into the mother so that the remaining fetus stand more chance of survival.
Expectant mothers should try to limit their caffeine intake, and avoid tobacco and alcohol products altogether. They should also avoid ocean fish as they tend to have larger mercury levels, which when consumed in large doses, can affect the fetus.
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.

Yes, a girls breasts can grow bigger than her mothers. Breast size can be determined by genetics, although remember that a persons genes come from more than just their mother, and by environmental factors such as health and diet.
An Embryo is a stage before Fetus, the Fetus is more developed than an Embryo, the stage of Birth and a baby being more developed than a fetus.
Yes, a smaller hot object can contain less total energy than a larger cooler object. The total energy of an object is related to its mass and temperature. While the smaller hot object has a higher temperature, its overall energy may still be less than that of a larger object at a lower temperature due to the larger object's greater mass.
Boys are more active than girls.
