A sensible mutation, commonly referred to as a "synonymous mutation," is a change in a DNA sequence that does not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. This occurs because multiple codons can code for the same amino acid due to the redundancy of the genetic code. While these mutations do not affect the protein's structure or function, they can still influence gene expression or regulation in subtle ways. Overall, sensible mutations are considered neutral in terms of their impact on protein function.
