Question

The body being covered with fine hair during gestation is associated with the end of which period?

Options

• 1 month

• 24 weeks (2nd trimester)

• 12 weeks (1st trimester)

• 2 months

Answer 1

At the end of 24 weeks, which marks the end of the 2nd trimester, the body is covered with fine hair. This should not be confused with the appearance of hair on the head, which occurs earlier, during the 5th month.
