What is another word for Telegony?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛlɪɡənɪ] (IPA) 
Telegony is a term used to describe the phenomenon where the offspring of a female is influenced by the genetic material of a previous male partner. Synonyms for this term include atavism, retroactive infidelity, genetic influence, and genetic memory. These terms refer to the concept that the genetic makeup of a previous partner can remain imprinted on a female and affect future offspring.
