Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An embryo needs to stay ____ in order to develop in a fertilized egg.
A
warm
B
cold
C
frozen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fertile eggs should be stored between 55 and 65°F. If fertile eggs reach temperatures above 72°F, embryos will begin to develop abnormally, weaken, and die. Embryos stored below 46°F also have high embryo mortality. Room temperature is generally too warm and the refrigerator is too cold for storing fertile eggs.

Detailed explanation-2: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Embryos have survived at temperatures below 90°F for up to 18 hours. You should continue to incubate the eggs after the outage; then candle them 4 to 6 days later to check for further development or signs of life.

Detailed explanation-4: -If they move too fast, they damage the enzymes so that they can’t do their job. If the egg gets too cool, i twill slow down development. If the egg gets too hot the enzymes are destroyed and the egg can’t develop at all. This delicate temperature balance is one reason that almost all mammals keep their eggs inside.
