What type of mutation occurs when a base substitution results in the change of a single amino acid in a protein?Multiple choice question.NonsenseMissenseFrameshiftSense

When a base substitution mutation does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein (due to the degeneracy of the genetic code), we say that this mutation is:Multiple choice question.sense.silent.degenerate.beneficial.
