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.
