possessing ability to induce or increase permanent genetic changes by causing changes in DNA.

Any substance or agent that is capable of causing mutation. In this sense, the term mutagenic is concerned with extracellular factors like chemical pollution.[xiii

causing alteration in the DNA (genes or chromosomes) of an organism

Capable of causing genetic changes.

Causing a heritable change in gene structure

Causing alterations in genetic material.

a substance that increases the frequency of mutation, the alteration in hereditary material

Causing a permanent change in genetic material (DNA).

a chemical or substnace that can cause genetic mutation of living things. f g h i j k l q r s w x y z

capable of inducing mutation (used mainly of extracellular factors such as X-rays or chemical pollution)

an agent that tends to increase the frequency or extent of mutation

The ability of a chemical or physical agent to produce heritable changes in the DNA of living cells.

Able to create mutations, and so potentially able to cause infertility or birth defects.

Causing changes in the genes of an organism

means able to produce a mutation.

Changes the genetic code, which are the building blocks of cells.

An agent (eg. substance) altering genetic information (gens) on chromosomes

can damage genes, possibly causing cancer.

capable of causing damage to genes.

A substance that tends to increase mutations or chromosomal alterations.

Any agent or substance capable of noticeably increasing the frequency of mutation of a fetus

capable of increasing the rate of genetic alteration.

Is the ability of a substance to produce genetic changes in living cells and organisms

the property of being able to induce genetic mutation

Capable of inducing damage or change (mutation) to DNA, which is the body's blueprint material. Mutagenic substances are typically also carcinogenic, increasing the likelihood of developing cancer. Many chemicals are mutagenic, as are certian types of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation.

causing a permanent change in the hereditary material (genes) of the cell; these changes may but do necessarily result in cancer.

Production of genetic alterations.

pertaining to influences causing permanent alterations in the genes.
