Answer:

Heredity involves traits that are passed down from parents to their children biologically through genes.

Environment refers to one's surroundings.

Parents hope for babies to be born perfect, but unfortunately, sometimes this is not the case. Many infants are born with birth defects. These conditions, present at birth, may have a negative impact as the child grows. Birth defects typically develop during the first trimester of pregnancy, but sometimes they occur later in a pregnancy. They have a number of causes, including heredity and environment, and some are caused by a combination of factors.

Certain environmental factors can lead to birth defects. The environment of a fetus is the mother’s uterus, so whatever impacts the mother might also affect fetal development. The problem can come from the mother’s surroundings. If she gets an infection or disease, such as rubella, it can cause abnormal development of the fetus. Rubella is most dangerous if contracted during the first trimester. The baby can be born with many challenges, including deafness, small head size and cloudy corneas. Sometimes, however, a mother’s behavior directly harms fetal development. For instance, when a mother consumes alcohol, it crosses the placenta and is carried to the fetus. This can hinder food and oxygen transfer, leading to birth defects. Typical symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome include deformed limbs, joints and fingers; missing ridges between nose and upper lip; heart defects; and learning and behavioral disorders.
