Question 2
Which of the following is a reason the embryonic period is the most vulnerable period of development?
◦ Nearly two-thirds of embryos fail to complete development, resulting in miscarriages.
◦ Brain development is nearly complete by the end of the embryonic period and thus vulnerable only at this time.
