Genetics, Prenatal Development and Birth - Discussion
Prenatal development:
1. Teratogens affect prenatal development differently according to the specific prenatal stage during which the teratogen is ingested. Define a teratogen and then choose either the embryonic period or the fetal period and describe the effect a teratogen may have during that period.
2. What are some issues associated with premature infants? Justify your response with academic literature and/or research.
