Cancer and genetic defects are examples of:

birth defects
germline defects
stochastic effects
deterministic effects


stochastic effects

Rationale: Stochastic effects can result regardless of dose amount. Consequences of a greater dose show a later effect. Late stochastic effects appear months or years after initial exposure. Cancer is the most common late stochastic effect to contend with, but hereditary effects as well.
