Definition of Missense Mutation. A mutation is a permanent change in a DNA sequence. DNA is the unit of heredity of all organisms, so this means that mutations can often be passed on to offspring. You probably associate the word mutation with something that is bad, but mutations don't have to be bad.
Not all missense mutations lead to appreciable protein changes. An amino acid may be replaced by an amino acid of very similar chemical properties, in which case, the protein may still function normally; this is termed a neutral, quiet, silent or conservative mutation.ot all missense mutations lead to appreciable protein changes.
