mustelid näätäeläimet
mustelid (A large, diverse family of low-slung, long-bodied carnivorous mammals including minks, weasels, and badgers; distinguished by having only one molar in each upper jaw, and two at the most in the lower jaw) näätäeläimet

mutagen (An agent that raises the frequency of mutation above the spontaneous rate. An agent that causes changes to plants and animals, particularly to their genetic material and especially at the time of reproduction. Certain chemicals and forms of radiation are powerful mutagens that damage the DNA, or genetic material in the centre of every cell of a living organism) mutageeni
mutagenic substance (Agents that induce a permanent change in the genetic material) mutageeninen aine
mutagenicity (The property of chemical or physical agents of inducing changes in genetic material that are transmitted during cell division) mutageenisyys
mutagenicity testing (Testing the property of a substance of being able to induce genetic mutation) mutageenisyystestaus
mutagenicity testing mutageenisyystestaus
mutant (An individual bearing an allele that has undergone mutation and is expressed in the phenotype) mutantti
mutated micro-organisms release mutaation läpikäyneiden mikro-organismien päästö
mutated micro-organisms release (The release of mutated micro-organisms creates the risk that they may exhibit some previously unknown pathogenicity, might take over from some naturally occurring bacteria (possibly having other positive functions which thus are lost) or pass on some unwanted trait to such indigenous bacteria. There is also concern that an uncontrolled genetic mutation could produce from such an engineered microorganism, a form with hazardous consequences for the environment) mutaation läpikäyneiden mikro-organismien päästö
mutation (A change in the chemical constitution of the DNA in the chromosomes of an organism: the changes are normally restricted to individual genes, but occasionally involve serious alteration to whole chromosomes. When a mutation occurs in gametes or gametocytes an inherited change may be produced in the characteristics of the organisms that develop from them. Mutation is one of the ways in which genetic variation is produced in organisms. A somatic mutation is one that occurs to a body cell, and is consequently past on to all the cells derived from it by mitosis. Natural mutations, at this stage of biological evolution, when they occur in the cells of higher animals, almost always produce deleterious characteristics. Both natural and artificial mutations can be brought about by ionizing radiation (hence the genetic and carcinogenic dangers of nuclear weapons) and by certain chemical substances called mutagens) muutos
