Answer:

Genome

Explanation:

All living organisms contain a certain number of chromosomes that make up their genetic composition. This genetic composition is the organism's GENOME. Genome refers to the total and complete set of genes or genetic content in the cell of an organism. Human beings are diploid organisms that contains a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes with each pair contributed by each parent.

These 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes present in the nucleus contains all the DNA, genes and nucleotide sequences of a human cell, hence, it accounts for the total genetic makeup of humans. This means that the 23 pairs of chromosomes contained in the cell of a human makes up our genome.

From the options, the true statements about glycocalyx are : ( 1 ) and ( 3 )

All animal cell have a glycocalyx ( 1 )
The glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another ( 3 )

Glycocalyx is a layer of macromolecules attached to the cell membrane of cells. they perform several functions like protecting the cell from the entrance of pathogens and also providing a medium for cell to cell interaction.

Glycocalyx are found in cells of living organisms, and they are made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins as well. hence they are not comprised mostly of proteins.

Hence we can conclude that the true statements about glycocalyx are : All animal cell have a glycocalyx and the glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another
