1 pts

Explanation:

To determine the fundamental organizational unit of life, we analyze each option:

• An atom is the basic unit of matter, not life's organizational unit.
• A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, making it the fundamental organizational unit of life.
• A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a trait, not the fundamental unit of life's organization.
• A DNA molecule carries genetic information but is not the fundamental organizational unit of life (cells are the units that can independently carry out life processes).

B. cell
