The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Silent Mutation**: - A silent mutation is a type of mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein. This means that even though there may be a change in the DNA sequence, the final protein produced remains the same. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: No changes in the base sequence. - This is incorrect because silent mutations involve a change in the base sequence, but it does not affect the protein. - **Option B**: No changes in the protein type. - This is correct. Since silent mutations do not alter the amino acid sequence, the type of protein remains unchanged. - **Option C**: There is a change in the chromosomal segment. - This is incorrect because while the DNA sequence may change, it does not necessarily imply a change in the chromosomal segment in a way that affects protein function. - **Option D**: There is a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein. - This is incorrect because silent mutations do not change the amino acid sequence. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option B: No changes in the protein type**. Silent mutations do not affect the functionality of the protein produced.
