A patient has recently been diagnosed with Tay-Sachs Disease. Tay Sachs is a rare genetic disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells. It is caused by a
mutation is the HEXA gene which normally encodes an enzyme called beta-
hexosaminidase A. This enzyme helps in the breakdown of fatty substances. If
this enzyme is not made properly, the build up of the fatty acids becomes toxic to
the cell and can harm the organism. Which question, if answered, would identify the
organelle that is affected by the genetic mutation for Tay Sachs Disease?

Astudent sees several ants walking up a wall following the exact same trail that an ant took earlier. she wants to apply the scientific method to determine how the ants detected the trail. which of these steps would come first in her application of the scientific method? perform an experiment by cleaning the scent away from part of the trail. draw a conclusion that the ants follow a scent trail. make a prediction about what the ants will do after she cleans away part of the trail. hypothesize that the ants are following a scent trail that the first ant left.
