Which Type of Mutation is Possible Due to the Redundant

Question

Which type of mutation is possible due to the redundant nature of the genetic code?
A) nonsense
B) silent
C) splice site
D) frameshift
E) missense

Accepted Answer

The redundant nature of the genetic code means that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid, allowing for silent mutations where a change in the nucleotide sequence does not alter the amino acid sequence of the protein.
