What is mutation?

Mutation is any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecule.

Mutation can be of different types as follows:

  • Frameshift mutation
  • Silent mutation
  • Nonsense mutation
  • Missense mutation

Silent mutation is the type of mutation that does not change the resulting amino acid.

According to this question, codon GGU is changed to GGC but they encode the same amino acid (glycine), hence, it is a type of silent mutation.
