A point mutation changes the DNA sequence CGA to CGT, but the same protein is still produced. Which point mutation occurred?

The DNA triplets CGA and CGT differ by one base, but both code for the same amino acid: arginine. Since the protein’s amino acid sequence does not change, this is a silent mutation. A missense mutation changes an amino acid, while a nonsense mutation creates a stop signal.
