Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a teratogen-induced developmental defect resulting in a range of physical and neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including characteristic facial features like a thin upper lip, smooth philtrum, and small eye openings. Down syndrome (A), Prader-Willi syndrome (B), and Angelman syndrome (D) are genetic disorders that are not typically associated with exposure to teratogens. Sudden death syndrome (E) refers to unexplained infant deaths and is not relevant to this question.
