In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants

The letter C stands for coloboma of the eye‚ H is heart defects‚ A stands for atresia of the choanae‚ R is retarded growth and development‚ G stands for genital abnormalities and lastly letter E stands for ear anomalies and/deafness.

The dangers associated with smoking during pregnancy include miscarriage‚ premature birth‚ low birth weight‚ Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)‚ birth defects (such as cleft lip or cleft palate)‚ and even death (CDC‚ 2012). Creating a healthy environment for babies by quitting smoking will reduce the risk for these health risks. The baby will benefit from a healthy delivery and be less at risk of being born too early.
