multiple gestations or large for gestation age babies can cause - ANSWER - intrauterine
constraint

normal morphogenesis (toxins, trauma etc)

not major teratogens except alcohol/tobacco)
retinoic acid - ANSWER - disruption - accutane, absence of EAC, ear, aortic arch, brain defects,
SAB
thalidomide - ANSWER - disruption - can treat cancer and autoimmune - limb defects,
phocomelia (hands or feet are attached close to the trunk, the limbs being grossly
underdeveloped or absent)
