State two environmental factors that may increase the at which mutation happens

Anything in the environment that can cause a mutation is called as a mutagen.

Environmental mutagens include:

radiations, chemical, infectious agents, extreme heat.

The environment we live in has a real impact on whether we experience genetic mutations. The quality of water we drink and the air we breathe can actually effect the integrity of our DNA. Our bodies are designed to correct any mistakes, but dangers from the environment can increase our chances of ending up with a mutation.
