1.  Genetically passing on of physical or mental traits from one generation to another is called heredity.  There are some diseases and health conditions that can be inherited and passed on, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer. Thus, knowing the medical history of your family plays an important role in your personal health.

2.  Pathogens refer to any bacterium, virus or other microorganisms that can cause illness. Some pathogens may be airborne and can be passed on through coughing and sneezing.  Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wearing a face mask and frequent hand washing are some of the ways to prevent the spread of these diseases.

3. Getting vaccinated or not is one of the hottest debatable topics nowadays. For example, though there have been various case studies and research studies that were done to prove that vaccination has lowered cases of measles and polio, there are still some parents who are hesitant to give their children the MMR and polio vaccines. 

Some parents have even gone as far as spreading unsupported claims on how vaccines can trigger autism and can cause sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

In the Philippines, the cases of elementary students who were claimed to have died of 
Dengvaxia (vaccine to fight against Dengue) has caused wide panic among parents. As a result, there are parents who decided not to give their children MMR shots, which eventually caused measle outbreak in some parts of the country.

How is a loss of biodiversity most likely to affect an ecosystem?
ki77a [65]
Loss of biodiversity affects the ecosystem in many ways. For example, if a species disappears, the animals/plants that it fed on will suddenly increase in population due to loss of predators. The predators of the lost species, however, will go down in population because its main source of food has disappeared.

Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.
