Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are typically around 270 bones in human infants, which fuse to become 206 to 213 bones in the human adult. The reason for the variability in the number of bones is because some humans may have a varying number of ribs, vertebrae, and digits.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 300 bones within a baby’s body gradually fuse together as they grow to form the 206 bones that adults have. Some of the bones in a baby’s body are actually made up entirely of cartilage, whilst others are only partly made up of this material.
