Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cleft palate is a congenital malformation resulting from the failure of the maxillary and palatine bones to fuse completely during fetal development. This leads to an opening or split in the roof of the mouth, which can cause feeding difficulties and speech impairment. The other choices are not directly involved in the formation of the palate.
