(3)Each teratogen affects a specific aspect of prenatal development. Teratogens produce selective damage. (4)The impact of teratogens depends on the dose. More exposure creates more risk of damage. (5) Damage from teratogens is not always evident at birth but may appear later in life. The impact of a teratogen may be delayed.
