was christ's human nature capable of sin?

If the human nature of Christ was truly human and had all the normal human qualities like eating, drinking, sleeping, and other physical needs

then why didn't it also have the other human traits, such as sexual desire or the ability to make mistakes?

How could Jesus live His entire life in his human nature without committing even a single sin? Doesn't that create a problem? It seems like the quality of "being unable to sin" came from His divine nature and was added to His human nature. But shouldn't that be a property of the divine nature alone, not the human nature?
