A mutagen is a chemical that causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate through
generational lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical that causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e., within the first eight weeks
of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a chemical that causes
damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive tox i n is any
substance that interferes in any way with the reproductive process.
