Reptiles were the first group whose eggs cushioned the embryo in fluid and protected it with membranes and a shell. This prevents eggs from drying out and allows them to be laid away from water.
Genes control the sex of a developing embryo.
Embryos are protected by the physical structures of the reproductive system, such as the uterus in mammals. Embryos are protected by the presence of amniotic fluid or egg membranes that surround and cushion the developing embryo. Embryos are protected by parental care, such as brooding behaviors in birds or the provision of nutrients and a safe environment in mammals.

An embryo is the term used to describe a developing organism in its early stages of growth and development.
The endosperm does. It acts much like yolk in an egg does for the embryo developing in the egg: provides the necessary nutrients for the developing embryo to grow from.

A mammal embryo is the developing baby inside the mother.
The yolk sac supplies food to the developing embryo through nutrients stored in the yolk. It helps sustain the embryo's growth and development until it is ready to hatch.
