Mutagens are chemical or physical factors that increase the rate of mutation. Some are natural, and some are synthetic.
Some examples of mutagens are:
- Cosmic rays
- Some viruses
- Harmful atomic radiation
- Recreational drugs
- Tobacco
- Alcohol
- Pesticides
- Asbestos
- Soot
Deviation can destroy cell, causing death/mutation.

Cell mutation
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
A sudden change in a gene is called a mutation. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to mutagenic agents like radiation or certain chemicals. Mutations can have a range of effects, from being harmless to causing genetic disorders or diseases.
A change in the order of bases in an organism's DNA is called a mutation. Mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced by external factors like radiation or chemicals. Depending on where in the DNA the mutation occurs and the type of mutation, it can have varying effects on the organism, ranging from being harmless to causing genetic disorders.

Mutation
There are two main factors that cause a mutation in DNA. These factors include: the DNA fails to accurately copy itself and external influence cause a breakdown in the DNA.
Mutations can arise from errors in DNA replication, environmental factors like radiation or chemicals, or from natural genetic variations. These mutations can lead to genetic diversity within populations, potentially causing changes in phenotype or function.
