Spread of infectious mud or soils (leptospirosis)

In human cells, this organelle houses 23 pairs of chromosomes which contain genes made from DNA; in each chromosome pair, one is

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Humans are eukaryotic organisms. Their cells have a well-defined nucleus in which the genetic material is present in the form of chromosomes. Chromosomes have genes arranged in a linear manner. Genes represent the stretch of DNA that code for a specific protein. Being diploid organisms, humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. Therefore, each chromosome is present in pairs. These pairs are called homologous chromosomes. One chromosome of a pair comes from an egg cell and is called the maternal chromosome. The other chromosome is contributed by sperm and is called a paternal chromosome.

What is special about animals that allows them to be mobile in some way?

zloy xaker [14]

The lack of a rigid cell wall is an animal feature that allows them to be mobile in some way.

The cell wall is a cellular structure (organelle) that provides support to plant and fungi cells.

Animals are mobile because they do not have this rigid structure that otherwise will hamper their motion.
