Mutagenicity

Mutagenicity refers to the induction of permanent transmissible changes in the amount or structure of the genetic material of cells or organisms. These changes may involve a single gene or gene segment, a block of genes or chromosomes. The genetic change is referred to as a mutation and the agent causing the change as a mutagen. Mutations can either occur in germ cells or somatic cells. If the mutation occurs in a germ cell the effect is heritable. There is no effect on the exposed person; rather the effect is passed on to future generations. If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell, it can cause altered cell growth or cell death in the exposed person.
