Organism with characteristics resulting from gene changes (6)

I believe the answer is:

mutant

(Other definitions for mutant that I've seen before include "Living thing that has undergone genetic change" , "Genetically-modified" , "badly bred" , "Living thing that undergoes genetic change" , "A product of genetic change" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
