Morphology
biogenetic = genetic (semi-transparent) = bio + gen + etic
The word is transparently built with the prefix bio-, but its scientific sense depends on a specialized meaning of genetic and is not fully obvious to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The word biogenetic joins bio- meaning 'life' and -genetic from a root meaning 'birth' or 'origin', the same idea you see in biology, gene, and generate. So, biogenetic is about how living things come from other living things.
