If each cell has multiple mutations, why do most of us have normally-functioning tissues and organs?

Most of us has normally-functioning tissue and organs even if the cell has multiple mutations because of DNA repair mechanism.This repair mechanism has multiple processes by which any damage in the genetic material can be repaired before the protein is synthesized.In human beings there are many factors like environmental factors and metabolic activities that can cause mutation in DNA but the repair system does not allows the abnormal DNA to form abnormal proteins this saves the abnormal functioning of tissues and organs .More than 1 million molecular lesions per cell are repaired, these lesions leads to structural damage and the damaged cells are killed by apoptosis. This repair system continues as the cells divide and any alteration in the DNA is solved prior to the protein synthesis this result sin normal functioning of tissues and organs.

This makes solution hypertonic which helps in reduction of inflammation in the surrounding cells.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The phagocytosis is the process by which white blood cells take in in different parts of of the pathogens that are invading the human body as well as secreting different toxins which helps them to survive better inside their hosts. Thus these white blood cells takes in the pathogens and thereby digests them and produce the excretory products which are then excreted in the interstitial space. Excretory products from thousands of white blood cells accumulate in the blood plasma and thereby it increases the concentration of blood plasma and makes it hypertonic with respect to the tonicity of the surrounding cells.

In the meantime due to the infection, the surrounding cells are inflamed. The hypertonic blood plasma thereby draws out different amounts of water from the cell and reduces the inflammation to certain extent.

Which are highly specialized membrane proteins that modify the cell's response to its environment?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: Option A and C.

Transport and receptor protein.

Explanation:

Membrane protein are pathway protein that control the flow of materials and information across the cell.

These proteins modify the cell response to the environment. Examples of membrane proteins are receptor and transport protein.

Receptor are protein that receive signal in the cell.

Transport protein are responsible for movement of ions,molecules or materials across the cell and its environment. These two proteins are responsible for modifying cell response to it's environment.
