What is a Synonymous Mutation?

A synonymous mutation, also known as a silent mutation, is a type of genetic mutation that occurs when a change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein that is produced. This is due to the redundancy in the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
