Answer» Correct Answer - D The human would require more getation period (should have been 21 months as compared to 9 months and will increase ). Similarly , the head size is increasing (especially the frontal brain) , hence growth rate needs to increase , but surprisingly , most of the brain growth occurs after birth till two years (when the anterior fotanellac close at 18 months ) and some till 30 years when finally the cranial structures close Thus, an increase in brain/skull size would require increase in gestation period |
