A single base substitution mutation will be the least likely to cause a deleterious effect when the base change produces the same amino acid as the original.
<h3>What is a silent mutation?</h3>
- This scenario is what we call a silent mutation.
- What this means is that the mutation is almost undetectable due to its not affecting the protein that it will help to form.
- This is possible thanks to how the genetic code operates, <u>different codons are able to code for the same amino acid.</u>
- Therefore, there are mutations that do not affect the amino acid or the protein.
Therefore, we can confirm that a mutation will have no negative effects if it is a silent mutation, meaning that the substitution of a base pair happens to code for the same amino acid as the original.
