Answer 1

Answer: silence point

A silent point mutation may be an effect of a base-pair substitution (substitution of one base pair with another in DNA). However, silent point mutations are a special case where no amino acids are affected. As a result, since the monomers of proteins are amino acids, there is no change to the sequence of a protein.
