What is another word for mutagenesis?
Pronunciation: [mjˌuːte͡ɪd͡ʒˈɛnɪsˌɪs] (IPA) 
Mutagenesis refers to the process by which genetic material is altered or modified, resulting in changes to an organism's traits. There are several synonyms that can be used in place of mutagenesis, including genetic modification, genetic engineering, gene editing, and gene manipulation. Each of these terms describes the process of altering genetic material, either through artificial means or through natural mutation. However, there are some distinctions between these terms and mutagenesis - for example, genetic modification and genetic engineering typically refer to intentional modifications made in a laboratory setting, whereas mutagenesis can occur naturally through exposure to environmental factors such as radiation or chemicals.
