Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thalidomide was known to cause limb deformities in babies whose mothers took the drug during pregnancy, so Michael, who has deformed arms and legs, is the most likely to have been affected by thalidomide. Heart defects, deafness, and mental retardation are not typically associated with thalidomide exposure.
