Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effects of teratogens on an unborn child can vary depending on the type of teratogen and the timing and duration of exposure. Some effects may be immediately apparent at birth, while others may not become apparent until months or even years later. It is not accurate to say that they are always immediately apparent or never apparent until some months or years after birth. Fatal effects are possible, but not almost always evident within several months of birth.
