What is another word for conservative mutation?
Pronunciation: [kənsˈɜːvətˌɪv mjuːtˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
A conservative mutation refers to a genetic change that results in a protein sequence that is similar to the original version. Synonyms for conservative mutation include non-radical mutation, non-disruptive mutation, and mild mutation. These mutations do not bring a significant change in the structure of the protein, only slight modifications to its function. Other synonyms include synonymous substitution, synonymous mutation, or silent mutation. Conservative mutations are often observed in genes that play essential roles in biological processes, and these genetic changes can have critical implications for the organism's overall fitness. Studying conservative mutations can help us understand evolutionary processes and genetic diseases caused by mutations.
