teratogenesis
Teratogenesis is the process by which birth defects are induced in an embryo or fetus. These defects may occur due to genetic factors, environmental conditions, drug or chemical exposure, or certain infections during pregnancy. It typically involves alteration of physical growth and the development of organs and tissues, which could result in physical malformations, functional deficits, or death of the fetus.
