Answer 1

silent mutation is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Silent mutation does not change in the amino acids because of this function of protein remain unchanged and protein is functional.

• A silent mutation is a kind of point mutation that changes the single nucleotide sequences.

• It is called a silent mutation is called silent because this kind of mutation does cause any change in the protein which is formed.

• sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease are the diseases caused by silent mutations.
