Answer:

Heredity

Step-by-step explanation:

Heredity: It is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. These can be physical and even behavioral.

Genome: It is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function.

Teratogens: It is something (an environmental agent) that can cause or raise the risk for a birth defect in a baby. e.g. chemicals, infections etc.

Chromosomes: These are bundles of tightly coiled DNA located within the nucleus of almost every cell in our body. The number varies from one organism to the other. Humans have 23 pairs (total 46) of chromosomes.
