Answer:

A silent mutation does not produce a phenotype change.

Step-by-step explanation:

In point mutations, a base pair of the DNA sequence is altered. Within them, there are silent mutations, where the change of bases, generates a codon called synonymous.

For example:

AAC sequence ---> codes for Alanine

AAA mutated sequence ---> codes for Alanine

That is, it will not affect the protein under synthesis.
