Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anti-miscarriage drug progestin can lead to masculinization of a developing female fetus, as can a condition known as androgenital syndrome. Androgen insensitivity is not associated with masculinization but with incomplete development of male sexual characteristics. Thalidomide is also known to cause birth defects but is not specifically associated with masculinization.
