physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level.

change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal genetic element.

s a type of mutation that causes the replacement of a single base nucleotide with another nucleotide of the genetic material, DNA or RNA.
