Do humans have any enzymes in bodies?

Yes. All life on this planet has enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that act to catalysts to perform the chemical work required by cells to function. They allow cells to grow, reproduce and use energy. Exactly WHICH enzymes are present in any given organism is dependent on the organism. Plants will have different enzymes than animals or fungi or bacteria, but ALL life has enzymes.

What is the link between genes and a healthy organism?

Genes encode RNA and proteins/enzymes in DNA sequences. The proteins and enzymes allow the organism to function optimally. Enzymes are involved in cycles such as TCA and FTC in the form of ATP (energy). If a mutation occurs when the gene encode these enzymes the entire cycle can be disrupted and cause an organism to become unhealthy. Genes control everything you anatomically are and a healthy organism is defined by what it does, eats and the environment surrounding it. Genes may change during your life on their own and anatomical miracles may occur.

Why are DNA repair enzymes important to an organism's survival?

Because enzymes catalyze all chemical reactions in an organism. For example without enzymes, or with bad enzymes, cellular respiration cannot occur because the Krebs cycle and many other systems in cellular respiration are facilitated by enzymes.
