Silent mutations are typically detected through genetic sequencing of DNA samples. These mutations do not result in changes to the amino acid sequence of a protein, so they are identified by comparing the DNA sequence of the gene in question to a reference sequence to identify any differences. Advanced techniques like whole-genome sequencing can also be used to identify silent mutations across an organism's entire genome.
What else can I help you with?
If a strand of DNA with the sequence TGA mutated to GCA would it be a silent or 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. 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 a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
What codes for the same silent point mutation?
A silent point mutation is a change in a DNA sequence that does not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. This often occurs due to the redundancy of the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. For instance, both GAA and GAG codons code for glutamic acid, so a mutation from GAA to GAG would be a silent mutation. Thus, any codon that codes for the same amino acid as the original codon can be considered as coding for the same silent point mutation.
What change to this sequence would indicate a silent mutation?
A silent mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. This can happen through a substitution of a nucleotide that still codes for the same amino acid due to the redundancy of the genetic code. For example, if the original sequence is "GAA" (which codes for glutamic acid) and it changes to "GAG," this would represent a silent mutation since both codons code for the same amino acid. Thus, the change in the sequence that doesn't affect the protein's amino acid sequence indicates a silent mutation.
Which base substituion would more likely be a silent mutation?
Some subsitituations are called silent mutation because owing to the reduncancy of the genetic code, they have NO EFFECT on the coded protien.. and there you got -- Silent mutation by base-pair substition.. Hope that helps.. Got it out of my AP Biology Textbook.

What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
What is an example of a good effect from a mutation?
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.

What is a silent muation?
A silent mutation is a type of genetic mutation that does not result in any change to the amino acid sequence of a protein due to redundancy in the genetic code. These mutations often occur in the third position of a codon and are therefore considered "silent" because they do not affect the resulting protein.
What change to this sequence would indicate a silent mutation?
A silent mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. This can happen through a substitution of a nucleotide that still codes for the same amino acid due to the redundancy of the genetic code. For example, if the original sequence is "GAA" (which codes for glutamic acid) and it changes to "GAG," this would represent a silent mutation since both codons code for the same amino acid. Thus, the change in the sequence that doesn't affect the protein's amino acid sequence indicates a silent mutation.
A mutation in a gene may not affect an individual's phenotype because?
the mutation may occur in a non-coding region of the gene, resulting in no change to the protein produced. Additionally, the mutation may be silent, meaning it does not alter the amino acid sequence of the protein. In some cases, the organism may have redundant genes that compensate for the mutation, allowing it to function normally.
Which type of mutation does not change the amino acids produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent
Does a DNA mutation always result in a change to the protein?
No, a DNA mutation does not always result in a change to the protein. Some mutations are silent and do not affect the protein's function.
What type of test can detect a silent leak in a toilet?
Dye testing
