A point mutation that does not result in a change to the amino acid coded for is said to be a synonymous mutation.

There is a change in the DNA sequence which codes for the amino acid in the sequence for protein but the amino acid that is being encoded does not change.  Redundancy occurs in the genetic code which means multiple codons can code for the same amino acid but the change or the mutation occurs at the third position of the codon and the amino acid to be incorporated remains same at the particular position of the protein sequence.

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Let’s look at a different gene locus, we’ll call it B. The normal, wild type, the population was 100% BB. There are 150 Pakicetus in the population at present. Assume Charles had another mutation; this one at the B locus, to produce allele b. What is the gene frequency of allele b in the population if the population of Pakicetus reaches 100,000

answer : ≈ 1

Explanation:

<u>Determine the Gene frequency of allele b </u>

Population = 100,000

There are 150 Pakicetus in population i.e. 300 alleles at locus B

hence the frequency of b = 1/300 = 0.33%

Increase in population does not affect frequency of b ( HW equilibrium )

<em>therefore the Gene frequency of allele b </em>

= 0.33% * 0.33% * 100000 = 1.08  

≈ 1
