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
