1 Mutations can also occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight and radiation. 2  Often cells can recognise any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it becomes a fixed mutation. 3  Mutations contribute to genetic variation within species.
There are actually a few types of connective tissues in meat. There's the obvious kind, like tendons, which connect muscles to bones; and ligaments, which connect bones to each other.Then there are those sheets of white fibrous tissue, called silverskin, that surround whole muscles.inally, while it's not a connective tissue per se, cartilage is another source of collagen. When simmered, the cartilage in bones breaks down into gelatin, which gives incredible body to stocks and consommes. consommÃ©s
Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue (which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues.) Special connective tissue consists of reticular connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
