Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exposure to X-rays, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), or drugs during pregnancy can lead to congenital problems in the child, which are conditions present at birth but not necessarily inherited genetically. Genetic defects are typically inherited from the parents' genes, while cephalocaudal and proximodistal pattern problems relate to the direction of growth, which is not directly affected by such exposures.
