A DNA sequence AAT - CCG – GTG codes for Asparagine – Proline- Valine. Substitution mutations would be those mutations in which a single nucleotide is substituted with a different nucleotide.
The correct answer is AAT - CCA – GTG because CCG changes to CCA which also codes for the proline. This means that this substitution is a silent mutation because there is no change in amino acid
