What Type of Mutation Produces No Significant Change in a Functional

Question

What type of mutation produces no significant change in a functional protein?
A) frameshift mutation
B) substitution mutation
C) normal mutation
D) neutral mutation

Accepted Answer

Neutral mutations are able to occur when the substitution of one base pair for another does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence or function of the protein. These mutations may occur in non-coding regions or in regions of the gene that do not affect the overall structure or function of the protein.
