Missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are examples of which type of mutation a. Substitution. Substitution is a type of mutations when one nucleotide is substituted with another nucleotide. A missense mutation is a substitution which results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. A nonsense mutation is a substitution which results in a stop codon. A silent mutation is a substitution that will no affect amino acid.

Yes the answer should be A... substitution... I am also working on this test
