Question

Because of the redundancy in the genetic code, many mutations in the coding regions of genes do not actually result in genetic disease. This is because many mutations are:_____________ A. transitional B. transversions C. silent D. missense E. nonstop

Answer 1

Silent mutations

Step-by-step explanation:

Silent mutations are mutations that occurs whereby one codon for an amino acid is changed into another codon for that same amino acid. This does not have any observable effect on the phenotype of such organisms such as not actually resulting in genetic disease. They are also a type of neutral mutations.
