7 The table shows some of the events (D to J) that occur between fertilisation and birth.

The events are not in the correct order.

D a baby is born

E complexity of the fetus increases more than size

F a zygote is formed

G embryo implants into the wall of the uterus

H size of the fetus increases more than complexity

J the zygote divides by mitosis to produce two cells

Put the events into the correct sequence by ordering the letters.
