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?
