Final answer:

A point mutation changing CGA to CGT with the same protein being produced represents a silent mutation.


Explanation:

A point mutation changes a single DNA base pair. In the scenario provided where CGA changes to CGT, resulting in the same protein being produced, it represents a silent mutation. Silent mutations alter the codon, but the same amino acid is still produced.
