Shakespeare writes: 'Love is not love / Which alters when it alteration finds'
By this he means that if you love a person, you love them for who they are. If they change (alter) you don't stop loving them - because you love the person, not just one aspect of them.
The wedding service says that you pledge yourself to someone 'For richer, for poorer; for better, for worse; in sickness and in health'. Shakespeare is expressing the same core idea.

Do you agree with the meaning of line 3 in Shakespeare's Sonnet 116?
Line three of the sonnet is "Which alters when it alteration finds" which doesn't make any sense unless taken with the enjambed line two. Taken together, lines two and three say "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds", which is a beautiful way of saying that love is not a matter of the convenience of the moment. I'll buy that, but it's your opinion your teacher wants to hear, not mine.

What type of mutation alters the base but not the amino acid?
A mutation that alters the base but not the amino acid is called a "silent mutation." This type of mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not affect the protein's primary structure due to the redundancy in the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. Consequently, the resulting protein remains unchanged despite the alteration in the nucleotide sequence.
