At conception: There are almost always mutations when the cell is fertilized. This is what helps retain genetic diversity.
Pre-birth: Impurities in the blood stream of the mother (such as those attained through smoking or drinking).
Post birth: Carcinogens (cancer is a type of mutation), and other mutagens. (most known mutagens are carcinogens).
