Teratogenesis
Teratogenesis is an event in which a birth defect is formed in an embryo (very early pregnancy) or a fetus (the baby inside Mom). A teratogen is a substance that can cause birth defects, such as some drugs, some chemicals, or radiation. Teratogenesis can also be the result of genetic mutations.
