ANS: A
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any one of the 200 kinds of human cells that will be present at birth. The uterus secretes a mix of lipids, mucopolysaccharides, and glycogen that nourishes the blastocyst. The embryo develops from the blastocyst, and the placenta develops from the trophoblast.
