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 is classified as connective tissue proper, osseous tissue, and cartilaginous tissue, depending on the composition of the cells and the type, properties, and orientation of intercellular structures. Connective tissue proper may be irregularly or regularly arranged. Irregularly arranged connective tissue with fibers that are irregularly interwoven may be loose (areolar) or dense. An example of loose connective tissue is subcutaneous tissue, as well as connective tissue, which fills the spaces between organs and accompanies blood vessels. An example of dense connective tissue is the corium, or connective-tissue base of the skin.
