Answer:

The correct answer is lysosomes

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic metabolic disorder in which a lipid called GM2 ganglioside builds in the brain which results in spasticity and death in childhood.

This disease is also known as lysosomal storage disease. Lysosomes are the major organelle that contains enzymes to breakdown molecules. In Tay-Sachs disease deficiency of hexosaminidase A occurs in lysosomes and this enzyme is needed to breakdown fats.  

So due to this deficiency, it results in the accumulation of fats in the brain and spinal cord causing Tay-Sachs disease.

How and where viruses reproduce and the function of RNA and DNA in this process.
bija089 [108]
Viruses reproduce by inserting their genetic code into the genetic code of a cell, from there, an active virus will copy itself over and over until that cell bursts, where the new viruses can repeat the process. Another type of virus inserts itself into the genetic code, but does not actively reproduce. It sits and waits for the cell to reproduce for it, by splitting in the way cells do.

Observations and inferences are important in science. How would you explain the differences between the two words?
Andrews [41]

Explanation:

when you Observe, you describe what you are seeing at the moment. so observation means seeing.

inference is the result you receive by observation.

for example, "I threw a stick and the dog ran after it and brought it back to me" this is an observation. you don't mention the reason why the dog brought you the stick. you just describe what happened!

but if you say, "the dog was trained to bring back the stick." you are mentioning the reason of the dog's behavior and that's inference.
