Silent mutation and point mutation, the third C was turned into a G (point mutation) but this did not affect the amino acid it was supposed to code for (silent mutation)

If mRNA sequence is mutated from CCC GGG to CCG GGG, the mutation will be point and silent.

Point Mutation:

It is type of mutation in which only one nitrogenous base is exchanged with another one.  This can be silent if the codon resulting is coding for same amino acid.

Here, CCC codon mutate to CCG, the mutation occur at a single base, hence it is point mutation.

Since, both Codons code for the proline, hence mutation is a silent mutation.

Therefore, if mRNA sequence is mutated from CCC GGG to CCG GGG, the mutation will be point and silent.
