No. Cells that have experienced mutation will most likely not have normal cells their cells will be all messed up.

Is mutations that occur in body cells will always be threatening to the organism?
yes, true.
Mutations that occur in body cells will always be life threatening to the organism?
Incorrect.
How mutations in reproductive cells are different from mutations in body cells?
mutations in the reproductive cells of the body can be carried on to the next generation but mutations in the body cells won't alter the genes.
Why dont blood cells and antibodies from the immune system try to destroy the toxic prion proteins?
prions are refolded versions of normal proteins, so the B and T cells see them as "normal" and thus ignore them.
How can scientists know when cells are cancerous?
Because they appear mutated compared to other "normal" cells. Multiple mutations in one cell leads to cancer. Some look similar to normal cells, most don't, google for images of different types of cancer cells
How the presence of a cancerous tumor affect the biological processes?
Cancerous tumours are formed from cells which have had mutations in very specific genes which have allowed them to survive independantly of cells around them in the body. Some of these key genes code for growth factors and other proteins which affect normal body cells. Often the tumour cell mutations cause upregulation of these growth factors causing neighbouring healthy cells to be affected in unusual ways.

Incorrect.

yes, true.
Are gamete cells mutations and somatic cells mutations inheritable?
Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.

What disease is cancer of?
Cancers are of many kinds and can occur in almost any part of the body. While they involve mutations in normal cells, these mutations are not necessarily inherited, but can be caused by radiation -- even normal background radiation -- or by other causes. Genes. A+

How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.

What will mutation do if it does not occur in sex cells?
Mutations which do not occur in sex cells are not passed on to the next generation. The mutation will only affect the individual. They could therefore have normal offspring.
