Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the common genetic material found in diversity of organisms and cells. The DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid can be found in the nucleus and mitochondria of the cells.

The red blood cells on maturity looses their nucleus. These cells do not divide and they remain unaffected by the pathogenic invasion as they do not posses a machinery for the growth and reproduction of pathogen. This helps in survival of these cells.
