Answer:

A substitution mutation occurs when one base pair is substituted for another. For example, this would occur when one nucleotide containing cytosine is accidentally substituted for one containing guanine. There are three types of substitution mutations:

  • Nonsense
  • Missense
  • Silent

Hope this helps !
