A quick definition of defect:

A defect is a problem or mistake that can be found in something like a toy, a house, or a paper. There are three types of defects: design, manufacturing, and marketing. Design defects are when something is made with a mistake in it. Manufacturing defects are when something is made wrong by accident. Marketing defects are when there are not enough instructions or warnings about how to use something safely. In real estate, a latent defect is a problem that is hidden and can't be seen when you look at a house. A defective legal document is a paper that doesn't follow the rules and might not be legal.

A more thorough explanation:

A defect is a problem or mistake that can be found in a product, property, process, or legal document. There are three types of defects:

For example, a design defect in a car might be a faulty airbag that doesn't work properly. A manufacturing defect could be a missing bolt in a piece of furniture that makes it unstable. A marketing defect could be a medication that doesn't have clear instructions on how to take it safely.

In real estate, a latent defect is a problem that isn't visible during a normal inspection but is present when the property is accepted. For example, a house might have a hidden leak in the roof that isn't noticeable until it starts raining.

A legal document can also have a defect if it doesn't follow the correct procedures or rules. For example, a will might not be valid if it wasn't signed in front of witnesses.

Overall, a defect is something that can cause problems or make something not work as it should.

Bio Chemistry is odd, some ppl just cannot absorb certain nutrients/vits. Like some calcium deficient ppl actually loose more calcium when they increase intake.
