Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will.
Still, it is not guaranteed that a a missense mutation will result in a disfunction of created protein, as long as it is not occurring in the activation site.

What is the difference between a missense mutation and a silent mutation?
A missense mutation will use only one or two substitutions to change the material. The silent mutation results with many substitutions over time.
What are the different types of gene mutations?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, deletion, point mutation
What is a missense mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
What are the similarities of a nonsense mutation and a missense mutation?
Both nonsense and missense mutations are point mutations - meaning a single base has been substituted. The difference between the two is that a missense mutation results in an amino acid being replaced with a different amino acid, whereas a nonsense mutation results in a premature stop codon.
What is the difference between a nonsense mutation and a missense mutation?
Missense mutation: changes one sense codon to another, resulting in incorporation of amino acid.Nonsense mutation: changes a sense codon into a stop (or nonsense) codon, resulting in premature termination.
Is this a silent mutation or a missense mutation?
Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will.

If the strand od DNA with the sequence gta mutated to gtg would this be a silent or missense mutation?
it would be a silent: explanation PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS STOOPID
What is missense mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid.
What are the different types of gene mutations?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, deletion, point mutation
What is a missense mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
What are the types of mutations that can occur?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
What are the similarities of a nonsense mutation and a missense mutation?
Both nonsense and missense mutations are point mutations - meaning a single base has been substituted. The difference between the two is that a missense mutation results in an amino acid being replaced with a different amino acid, whereas a nonsense mutation results in a premature stop codon.
Which type of mutation results in abnormal acid sequence?
A point mutation causes a change in the amino acid sequence creating a new type of protein. The mutations are categorized functionally as nonsense, missense and silent mutations.
What is the difference between a nonsense mutation and a missense mutation?
Missense mutation: changes one sense codon to another, resulting in incorporation of amino acid.Nonsense mutation: changes a sense codon into a stop (or nonsense) codon, resulting in premature termination.
What are the 4 types of mutations that can occur?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
What results in a regular size protein that is misshapen?
Missense mutation
