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.
Thus the amino acid sequence encoded by the gene is not changed and the mutation is said to be silent. Missence: When base substitution results in the generation of a codon that specifies a different amino acid and hence leads to a different polypeptide sequence. Depending on the type of amino acid substitution the missense mutation is either conservative or nonconservative.
