One of the strands of DNA directs the making of m-RNA by pairing the bases (A-U and C-G); this process is called transcription. m-RNA leaves the nucleus to go to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. t-RNA picks up amino acids according to a 3-letter code, called codon, and attaches on the m-RNA.

Mutagen
In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations can cause cancer, mutagens are therefore also likely to be carcinogens. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called ""spontaneous mutations"" occur due to spontaneous hydrolysis, errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination.
