    Solution

    A silent mutation typically causes no effect on the protein encoded by the gene. Silent mutations are a type of point mutation in which a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence is altered, but the change does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein. This is because the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
