<h2>The changes that do not affect the function of a protein are called silent mutations.</h2>
Explanation:
As given here as a mutation occurs in an original DNA template that changes the DNA, by transcription this mutation passes into RNA and changes the RNA, but it does not change the protein sequence, it means that this mutation could be silent mutation.
Silent mutation is the mutation which cause the change of a base in that, after the mutation the codon codes for the same amino acid, or the amino acid which do no cause any change in the protein, hence these changes do not affect the function of a protein.
<span>A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a
host and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. Rafflesia arnoldii
plants are endoparasites of grape vines. They rely entirely on their host
plants (grape vines) for both water and nutrients, and they emerge as flowers
from the roots or lower stems of the host plants. For the question given above,
Rafflesia arnoldii is an example of a parasite.</span>
