Silent mutations, also called synonymous or samesense mutations, are mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism's phenotype...

non-conservative (missense) mutation. Silent mutations code for the same amino acid (a "synonymous substitution"). A silent mutation does not affect the functioning...

three types of point mutations; silent mutations, missense mutations and nonsense mutations. Silent mutations A silent mutation occurs when a change in...

synonymous if a point mutation at that site would not change the amino acid, also known as a silent mutation. Because the mutation did not result in a change...

In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA. Viral genomes contain...

substitutions and mutations affecting noncoding DNA are often considered silent mutations; however, it is not always the case that the mutation is silent. Since...

single type of mutation; there are many different types of mutations. Mutation rates are given for specific classes of mutations. Point mutations are a class...

Mendel published. In his third law, he developed the basic principles of mutation (he can be considered a forerunner of Hugo de Vries). Festetics argued...

genetics, mutations in which natural selection does not affect the spread of the mutation in a species are termed neutral mutations. Neutral mutations that...

very seldom advantageous. In most instances, they indicate a (non-silent) mutation, which is almost certain to be deleterious. It therefore behooves sexual...

that errors in the third position of the triplet codon cause only a silent mutation or an error that would not affect the protein because the hydrophilicity...

transcription in mutants with non-preferred codons. Hence, even so called "silent" mutations can result in slight variations in the fitness of an organism. Additionally...

Though the term "silent mutation" is often used interchangeably with synonymous mutation, synonymous mutations are not always silent, nor vice versa....
