Because some amino acids can be coded for by multiple codons, this type of mutation is possible.

Nonsense Mutation
|
|
|
Missense Mutation
|
|
|
Degenerate Mutation
|
|
|
Silent Mutation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Different codons can sometimes designate the same amino acid. This redundancy of genetic code allows it to be more flexible. As a result, a quiet mutation almost often remains unreported. The silent mutation is a real shift in DNA from thymine to cytosine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Silent mutations result in a new codon (a triplet nucleotide sequence in RNA) that codes for the same amino acid as the wild type codon in that position.
Detailed explanation-3: -Missense Mutation A missense mutation is a DNA change that results in different amino acids being encoded at a particular position in the resulting protein.
