Which of the following produces no change in a phenotype?
A. Point mutation
B. DNA rearrangement
C. Silent mutation
D. Transformation

The answer is C. Silent mutation, which produces no change in phenotype due to the redundancy of the genetic code. Other options, like point mutations or DNA rearrangements, typically alter the phenotype. This distinction is important in understanding how mutations affect organisms. ;

The chosen answer is C. Silent mutation produces no change in phenotype because it does not alter the amino acid sequence due to the redundancy of the genetic code. Other mutations, like point mutations or DNA rearrangements, typically lead to changes in phenotype.
