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.

Orlov [11]
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.
