Hi,
 
Thanks a lot.
I wonder whether it match the description by science. I have no knowledge in this field.
 
Best wishes,
Rahula

See Samyutta Nikaya i. 206, where the stages are first the kalala or initial 
'embryo', which is supposed to be like a tiny translucent drop, followed by 
abbuda, pesii, and ghana, from which 'emerge the limbs' These are also 
mentioned by Buddhaghosa, Visuddhimagga 236.
