Differences between DNA damage and mutation:

DNA damage	Mutation
DNA damage could be a disruption or chemical addition to a base of DNA.	Mutations results due to environmental factors referred to as mutagens.
2. Most damage to DNA is repaired by removal of the damaged bases followed by resynthesis of the excised region.	2. Mutations may be spontaneous in nature.
3. Example: Alkylating agents.	3. Example: Down syndrome.
