Which of the following describes a silent mutation?

• A gene mutation that results in no change in the amino acid sequence

• A gene mutation that results in a change in the amino acid sequence that leads to a premature stop

• Mutations that affect multiple genes

• A gene mutation that results in a change in the amino acid sequence, thus creating a new protein
