Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deformation is a developmental abnormality due to mechanical forces that mold a part of the fetus over a prolonged period of time, such as a fetal head becoming flattened due to prolonged pressure during delivery. Emesis gravidarum is a severe form of morning sickness, Turner's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by partial or complete absence of the X chromosome, Breech presentation is a position of the fetus in which the buttocks or feet are positioned to be delivered first, and Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic disorder in males where there is an extra X chromosome. None of these conditions are caused by mechanical forces molding a part of the fetus.
