Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A point mutation in the third position of a DNA triplet may not always result in a change in the amino acid sequence because of the degeneracy of the genetic code. For example, a mutation from AAA to AAG in the third position of a DNA triplet that codes for lysine will still code for lysine. Therefore, this type of mutation can result in a change in genotype but not in phenotype.
