Mutagens are the known sources of physical, chemical or biological triggers of faults through manipulating the genotype or gene expression that contributes to a genetic abnormality, and this process is called a mutation. It can be spontaneously or may be induced by mutagen.

Types of mutagen |
Effect of mutagen |
2-Aminopurine |
Chemical mutagen |
2-Aminopurine, a base analogue mutagen, it causes transition and frameshift mutations. The analogue is cause mutations by two process: directly due to cytosine mispairing, and indirectly, by mismatch repair saturation
|
Acridine orange |
Chemical Mutagen |
Acridine orange dye induced mutations are activated by the removal or addition of a base pair, triggering a mutation in the frameshift.
|
Proflavin |
Chemical Mutagen |
By polymerizing among nucleic acid base pairs, Proflavine induces basepair deletions or basepair insertions. It can cause the double-stranded DNA breaks in the of light.
