Why would a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection?
Mashcka [7]

When a somatic cell is mutated, none of the other cells in the organism mutate with it. Screenings usually detect mutations that are in numerous cells and not in just one. That is why a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection.

<h3>What are mutations?</h3>

A mutation in biology is an adjustment to the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome. Errors in DNA replication, viral replication, mitosis, meiosis, or other types of DNA damage (such as pyrimidine dimers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation) can result in mutations.

These errors can then lead to error-prone repairs, particularly microhomology-mediated end joining, error-causing repairs, or errors during replication. Due to mobile genetic elements, mutations can also result from the insertion or deletion of DNA segment.

Control of (blank) synthesis is the key to controlling the chemical pathway of the cell.
strojnjashka [21]
Controlling the synthesis of proteins is the key to controlling the chemical pathways in the cell.
This is because proteins have key roles in many chemical reactions in the cell.
The most important proteins for the chemical reactions in the cell are enzymes.
Enzymes catalyze many chemical reactions, therefore, the control of the enzyme synthesis is a direct way of controlling other chemical reactions in the cell.
