Meromelia(Malformed limbs): The critical period is 20-36 days after fertilization or the first trimester when the organs are just beginning to develop. Drugs such as thialides should be avoided.<span>

Cleft Lip with/without Cleft Palate: Usage of drugs such as topiramate and valproic acid, during the first 3 months of gestation increases the risk of having a baby with this defect.

Enamel Hypoplasia(teeth enamel is hard but thin): The use of tetracyclines can cause this, as well as  yellow-to-brownish discoloration of the teeth. It is important to avoid such drugs during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.</span>

Answer:

Scientists learn how climatic changes during the ice age affected life in this region by analyzing specimens found in these tar pits  

Explanation:

La Brea Tar Pits are a group of tar pits in Los Angeles. Many preserved remains of ancient organisms (i.e., fossils) were extracted from the tar, including, among others, Western horses, prehistoric camels, three-toed tapirs, rodent bones, insects, mollusks, wood, plants, etc. The oldest fossils have been dated to be approximately 38,000 years ago by radiometric techniques. Moreover, the Last Glacial Period was the most recent glacial period within the Quaternary glaciation, which encompassed the period between 115,000 to 10,000 years ago. This period (LGP) encompassed the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which occurred about 20,000 years ago. In consequence, many of the fossils found in La Brea Tar Pits evidence how the ice age affected life in this region. Moreover, many of the fossil species extracted from the tar are still present today, thereby indicating how these species adapted to fluctuating climatic conditions, whereas certain species couldn't adapt fast enough as the environment changed and therefore they went extinct.
