Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol is known to cause facial deformities, learning difficulties, and delayed growth in developing fetuses. Nicotine and marijuana use during pregnancy have been linked to low birth weight and other complications, but not typically the specific defects listed. Cocaine use during pregnancy can lead to premature birth and low birth weight, but again, not typically the specific defects listed.
