Are hormones like recombinant bovine growth hormone or estrogen mutagens?

No. A mutagen, by definition, is a chemical or physical agent that changes the genetic material or DNA of an organism. Hormones are not mutagens, nor cannot mutate DNA. Estrogen is a natural hormone found in all animals, and recombinant bovine growth hormone is a hormone created or synthesized from recombinant bovine DNA to enable this substance to be commercially distributed. Once again, this hormone, without the "recombinant" name attached to it, is also naturally found in the bovine animal. Estrogen is what determines and regulates ovulation and estrus cycling in cattle. Growth hormone is found in growing animals which help them grow. So it is ridiculous to think that these two hormones are responsible for changes in an animal's DNA.
