Mutagens are substances or agents that can cause changes in the genetic makeup of an organism. Sometimes, it can be challenging to identify certain mutagens, especially if they are not well-known or not commonly used. Therefore, it is essential to understand what alternative terms can be used in place of mutagens. Some synonyms for mutagens include genotoxic agents, DNA-damaging agents, carcinogens, teratogens, and embryotoxic agents. These terms refer to substances or agents that can lead to mutations in the genetic material of living organisms, including humans. These alternative terms may help researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals to identify and understand the dangers of mutagens in their work.
