The video tutorial explains the differences between silent, missense, and nonsense mutations in genetics. It covers the transcription of DNA to RNA and how mutations affect amino acid sequences. Silent mutations do not change the amino acid sequence, missense mutations result in a different amino acid, and nonsense mutations introduce a premature stop codon, truncating the protein. The tutorial uses examples to illustrate each mutation type and discusses the genetic code's role in these processes.
