Jake presented you with the challenge question, when does life begin? You will create a timeline,
formatted as a table or flow chart, and a research paper that describes key events in the reproductive
development process from conception to postnatal stages. Also, consider biological changes that occur
within the mother to support fetal development.
Instructions
1.Create a timeline, which is formatted as a table or flowchart, that includes the following for all
the essential reproductive milestones from conception to postnatal stages:
oDescribe the development milestones that occur in the stages of fertilization, embryonic
development, fetal development, childbirth, and postnatal?
Include when each development milestone occurs.
Describe the key changes that happen within the child and mother during each milestone.
Highlight on your timeline when life begins, and provide your scientific rationale.
2.Your flowchart/timeline could also be text-based, a graphic, or a list. The format of the
flowchart/timeline is flexible. You will need to include the description for each milestone. I suggest making
your timeline fairly basic, and in the text of the paper describe each milestone.
3.Your paper should be formatted as a proper research paper with an introduction and
conclusion. Do not simply follow the bullet points above, but really think about what you have learned and
how that relates to other material we have covered and knowledge you have from other courses you may
have taken.
4.All references must be cited using APA Style format. Remember to use reliable internet sources
only( no prints, ebooks, or sites that require a subscription in order to retrieve the information)
