Answer #1

1. Silent mutation = A change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid sequence
These mutations do not alter the protein function
Ex: GGG ----> GGU: Both codons specify the same amino acid, Glycine.

2. Promoter = Binding site for the RNA polymerase to initiate transcription
It is located upstream to the transcription start site
i.e. 5'-end of the coding strand (or) 3'-end of the template strand
