A mutagen is a substance or
agent
that causes an increase in the rate of change in
gene
s - i.e., something that causes
mutation
s on a cellular level.
These mutations can be passed along as the cell reproduces, sometimes beginning a process which may lead to the production of defective cells, or
cancerous
growth.
Mutagenic
agents include chemicals, viruses,
ultraviolet light
, and
radiation
.
A mutagen is not the same thing as a carcinogen, though they're close. A
carcinogen
causes cancer - a mutagen
may
cause cancer.
