Answer:

The main difference between mutation and mutagen is that mutation is a heritable change in the sequence of the genetic material of a particular organism whereas mutagen is the agent that causes a mutation. Furthermore, mutations can be classified based on different aspects; chemical, physical or biological agents that can serve as mutagens.

Mutation and mutagen are two related terms used to describe heritable changes in the nucleotide sequence of a particular organism. Mutations can change the genotype and the phenotype of the organism, leading to evolution.
