Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches the symptoms of foetal alcohol syndrome, which is caused by the mother consuming alcohol during pregnancy. Teratogen syndrome is a vague term that does not specify a specific cause or set of symptoms. Foetal alcohol effect is a milder form of foetal alcohol syndrome. Cleft palate is a physical malformation that typically affects the mouth and does not necessarily cause low birth weight or facial abnormalities.
