What else can I help you with?
The period during which mammals develop inside the uterus is called?
Gestation.
Is a lion a placental mammal?
Yes, a lion is a placental mammal. Placental mammals are characterized by giving birth to live young that have developed inside the mother's uterus with the aid of a placenta. Lions give birth to live cubs after a gestation period.
The 650 days that an embryo developes inside an elephants uterus is called the?
gestation period
Which structures play role in initiating the birth process at the end of gestation period?
The Amnion and the Uterus
How many months is a cheetah in its mother's uterus?
The gestation period (pregnancy) for a cheetah is about 90 to 98 days.
Gestation for dogs begins when?
Gestation begins with a newly formed embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus. It ends when the fully developed fetus is born. On average, gestation in dogs lasts 63 days (9 weeks).
How long does the egg stay in the womb?
In humans 9 months. Other animals have different gestation periods. Gestation is the period of time that the fetus spends growing inside its mother's uterus. The gestation period for humans is approximately 40 weeks long.
Why do mice have a shorter gestation period than other mammals?
Smaller mammals have shorter gestation periods. If a mother mouse kept her young inside her uterus/placenta for too long, the young would become so big that the mother would die. Also, mice have very short lifespans due to their heavy predation and small size, so a female mouse needs to produce as many young as possible in her short life in order to keep the species from going extinct. A short gestation period increases fertility in that more litters can be produced in the same amout of time. Thus, mice have evolved very short gestation periods. Although a mouse's gestation period is only about 20 days, there are some mammals, such as certain opossums, whose gestation periods are even shorter.
If an animal lays eggs does it have a gestation period?
No, animals that lay eggs do not have a gestation period. Instead, the embryo develops inside the egg until it is ready to hatch. Gestation typically refers to the time a mammal carries a developing fetus inside its body before giving birth.
Does a baby moose is hatch from egg or born alive?
A baby moose is born alive, not hatched from an egg. Moose, like other mammals, give birth to live young after a gestation period. Moose calves are typically born in the spring after a gestation period of around 8 months. Moose are placental mammals, meaning the fetus develops inside the mother's uterus and is nourished through a placenta before being born.
During what time do young placental mammals develop inside the uterus?
The carrying of live young inside a female animal that gives live birth is called gestation. The length of the time spent in the gestation of one baby or one litter of young is called the gestation period. The time that a baby spends inside its mother (if its mother gives live birth) is called the gestational age.
Why is a marsupial's gestation period so short?
The gestation period of marsupials is shorter than placental mammals of the same size because the young joeys, while in the uterus, have only a yolk-like placenta to sustain them for a short period of time. They are born, then make their way to the mother's teats, which are usually located within a pouch. There, they attach to a teat which swells in the joey's mouth and provides all the nutrition the joey needs to continue its development. The reason why these animals have such a short gestation period is because the pouch protects them, while the mothers' milk, supplied through the teat to which the joeys remain attached for several months, nurtures them much as the placenta does in placental mammals.
