Structural or functional disorders identifiable prenatally or after birth, caused by gene defects, chromosomal disorders, multifactorial inheritance, environmental teratogens and micronutrient deficiencies, are called what?

Structural or functional disorders identifiable prenatally or after birth, caused by gene defects, chromosomal disorders, multifactorial inheritance, environmental teratogens and micronutrient deficiencies, are called what?

• A. Congenital anomalies
• B. Cryopreservation
• C. Corona Radiata cells
• D. Clinical pregnancy rate

Answer: (A)

Congenital anomalies are structural or functional disorders that are present at birth or identifiable prenatally, arising from factors such as gene defects, chromosomal abnormalities, multifactorial inheritance, environmental teratogens, and micronutrient deficiencies during development. This category specifically captures conditions rooted in developmental problems that exist from conception or become evident soon after birth. The other terms don’t describe birth defects: cryopreservation is freezing biological material, corona radiata cells refer to cells around the egg in the ovary, and clinical pregnancy rate is a measure of pregnancy success, not a category of birth-related disorders.
