WHAT DOES MUTAGENICITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mutagen

In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are therefore also likely to be carcinogens. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called "spontaneous mutations" occur due to spontaneous hydrolysis, errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination.

Definition of mutagenicity in the English dictionary

The definition of mutagenicity in the dictionary is the condition of being mutagenic.
