xenogenesis
Xenogenesis refers to the concept of an organism's or species' offspring being fundamentally different from either parent, often due to inheritance from an unknown or different species. This can be due to factors like mutation, genetic engineering, or alien influence in science fiction contexts. The term is often used in the fields of evolutionary biology and science fiction literature. In medical science, it refers to the process of conception, growth and birth of an organism in the body of an organism belonging to another species.
