Mutagen

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to have a quiet evening at home, but a loud neighbor keeps interrupting your peace with blaring music. Just like how the noise disrupts your tranquil evening, a mutagen disrupts the normal sequence of DNA by causing changes or mutations. In this analogy, your quiet evening represents the normal function of DNA, the loud neighbor is the mutagen, and the blaring music is the resulting mutation, highlighting how external disruptions can alter an established state.
