Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The amitochondriate eukaryotes may have genes that have been derived from purple alphaloproteobacteria because they do not have the mitochondria which is needed to optimize energy production in the presence of oxygen, can live and exist in a condition with little to no oxygen which is a characteristic of proteobacteria and hence are anaerobes obtaining energy by anaerobic respiration. They may have also undergone the endosymbiont theory but due to their environment which has little to no oxygen. They do not have a need for the mitochondria organelle and in the process lose this organelle.

Which symptom is unique to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) and is not observed in multiple sclerosis (ms)?
Nonamiya [84]

ALS is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease. MS is a scarring and hardening of the sheath around the nerves in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. MD is a muscular disorder with specific kinds of MD involving different muscles in the body. MD is almost exclusively hereditary

<h3>What is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) ?</h3>

The motor neurons steadily degrade and eventually die as a result of ALS. The brain, spinal cord, and all the muscles in the body are connected by motor neurons. When motor neurons are destroyed, they stop communicating with the muscles, which prevents the muscles from working.

  • Five to ten percent of all ALS cases are familial, meaning the patient gets the illness from a parent. Typically, only one parent needs to have the disease-causing gene to have familial ALS.
