Fetal alcohol syndrome typically occurs at what day post-conception?

Day 10
Day 17
Day 24
Day 30

The correct answer is: Day 17

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy that can result in physical and cognitive impairments in the developing fetus. It is usually diagnosed at birth or during early childhood. While any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can pose a risk, FAS typically occurs when a pregnant woman consumes excessive amounts of alcohol during the first trimester, specifically between the 17th to 21st day post-conception. This is when the central nervous system and major organs are developing and can be especially vulnerable to the teratogenic effects of alcohol. The other options listed (A, C, and D) fall outside of this critical period of development and are therefore incorrect. It is important for pregnant women to abstain from alcohol to prevent the occurrence of FAS.
