An egg fetus is not a scientifically recognized term. The term "fetus" refers to a developing mammal after the embryonic stage. Eggs, on the other hand, contain the embryo of various species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Here's a breakdown:
- Fetus: A developing mammal after the embryonic stage, typically from the ninth week of pregnancy onwards.
- Embryo: An early stage of development in an organism, encompassing the time from fertilization to the formation of the major body organs.
- Egg: A reproductive cell containing an embryo that develops outside the mother's body, typically in a shell.
Therefore, it's inaccurate to call an egg fetus. The correct term for the developing organism within an egg is embryo.
