Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Premature birth occurs when a baby is born before completing 37 weeks of gestation. A premature baby may have underdeveloped organs including the lungs, which can cause respiratory distress syndrome or other complications. However, with advances in medical care, premature babies have a higher chance of survival and many grow up to live healthy lives. Therefore, the most likely reason for a premature baby to survive is that they have spent at least 24 weeks in the womb, rather than being exposed or not exposed to teratogens or incomplete bone structure.
