is this a "simple definiton"? "A missense Mutation is a type of point mutation (a point mutation is when a single genome is either deleted, added, or changed) The Missense Mutation only involves one nucleotide but results in an mutated sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis."

You might want to change your wording a bit, because a 'genome' is an organisms entire genetic code. So I think you meant *nucleotide.

thank you!

Jasonisyours:

Another way to say this shorter would be : A missense mutation is a change in a single DNA letter (nucleotide) that causes the wrong amino acid to be added when a protein is made.

Syrnn:

Yeah it's good but it'd be good if it was dumbed down a little bit if possible

DevotedHeart:

A missense mutation happens when one tiny change in the DNA messes up the protein it makes. It’s like a single letter in a sentence being wrong and changing the meaning
