<span>The cells of our organs change size as a result of physiological changes of situations like aging and diseases which come with it. Diseases put an extra workload on our body’s tissues and organs that cause the cell to get larger. Many cells grow larger as they undergo repair after inflammation and infection. Cancerous cells get larger because they are working hard dividing and increasing uncontrollably. </span>
Most multicellular organisms have two sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. These chromosomes are referred to as homologous chromosomes. If both alleles<span> at a </span>gene <span>or locus on the homologous chromosomes are the </span>same<span>, they and the organism are homozygous with respect to that </span>gene<span> or locus.</span>
The structures allow the cell to perform specific functions.
