    Ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

    Mutagen is part of genetics, it is chemical or physical agent which are present in atmosphere and causes changes or mutation in the genetic materials i. e. in DNA (these changes can be permanent as well). Example of mutagen are radioactive substances, ultraviolet radiation, etc.

    UV radiation is an electromagnetic radiation which is present in sunlight. It is a strong mutagen which is when absorbed by DNA can cause extreme damage, for example, uncontrolled division of skin cell can cause skin cancer, that's the reason why UV radiation is the most common mutagen to which we are exposed to when we are outside in the sunlight.
