Being a visual learner have you got any tips on how to study science?
sukhopar [10]
Even being a visual learner the trick is to take notes, even if you never look at the notes ever again its good to write them down, you are more likely to remember something you have written down rather than to just look at it. Science is something that could be easy, you just have to take it at your own pace, don't try to learn science by giving it a quick read or glance at it.

Answer:

Fecundação é a quando o espermatozoide se une ao óvulo e forma o zigoto. Essa formação ocorre no interior das trompas, e o óvulo fecundado em seguida se encaminha na direção do útero.

O Zigoto se divide em duas células, depois em quatro células, e assim por diante, até formar o blastocisto, que vai se implantar na parede do útero e em algumas semanas dará origem ao embrião, formando um ninho.
