noun, Biology. 1. the production or induction of malformations or monstrosities, especially of a developing embryo or fetus. Also called teratogeny.
As a baby grows in the womb, teratogens may affect parts of the babyâs body as they are forming. For example, the neural tube closes in in the first 3 to 5 weeks of the pregnancy. During this time, teratogens can cause neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Some organs are sensitive to teratogens during the whole pregnancy. This includes the baby's brain and spinal cord. Alcohol affects the brain and spinal cord, so it can cause harm at any time during pregnancy.
