Answer:
Lysosomes.
Explanation:
HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.
The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.
Thus, the answer is lysosomes.
Answer: What is the defining characteristic of eukaryotic cells? Put these in your own words.
Eukaryotic cells are defined by the presence of a nucleus containing the DNA genome and bound by a nuclear membrane (or nuclear envelope) composed of two lipid bilayers that regulate transport of materials into and out of the nucleus through nuclear pores.
What types of organisms have eukaryotic cells?
There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.

Peyer's patches (aggregated lymphoid nodules)
Explanation:
Peyer's patches are anatomical regions located under the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the lamina propria of the thin intestine. These patches are nodules or cumulus of lymphatic tissue and other accessory cells, and this is why they represent a huge part of the mucosa´s immunity system.
Peyer's patches belong to the group of lymphoid tissue associated with the intestine, composed of lymphoid follicles distributed along the gastrointestinal tract.
A lymphoid follicle is a cumulus or aggregate of lymphoid cells that do not have a well-defined structure nor organization. In general, these follicles are isolated from each other in the intestine. But in the terminal ileum (The last portion of the thin intestine) they get so close that they might form a plaque. The Peyer´s patches are formed principally by lymphocytes B that synthesize immunoglobulin A, which has an important role in immunity.
