Identifying Missense Mutations

In the study of genetics, mutations play a significant role in how traits are inherited and expressed. A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism's DNA. There are various types of mutations, such as point mutations, which involve a change in a single nucleotide base pair. Point mutations can be further categorized into silent, missense, and nonsense mutations. Which type of mutation results in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein?
