Answer:

Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the neuron died due to mutation in superoxide dismutase 1 gene. This disease is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Mitochondria structure is disorganized in ALS. The ubiquitin protein mutation leads to the malfunctioning of mitochondria and misfolded proteins are made in the mitochondria.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Which sequence correctly arranges the building blocks of life from largest and most inclusive to smallest and most specific?

netineya [11]

The right answer is chromosome > DNA > gene.

Living cell element, of characteristic shape and in constant number, located in the nucleus of the cell.

DNA, which is our chromosome, carries the genes . The DNA molecule, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is found in all our cells.

The gene is a piece of this DNA that corresponds to a particular genetic information that codes for a single protein. So it's a very small portion of chromosome.
