Answer 1

Silent, missense, and nonsense mutations are all characterized by their effect on the resulting **Amino Acid**.

- **Silent mutations** do not change the amino acid sequence of a protein.
- **Missense mutations** change one amino acid in the sequence.
- **Nonsense mutations** introduce a stop codon, leading to a truncated protein.

Therefore, the correct response is **Amino Acid**.
