Answer:

Pathogen

Explanation:

A pathogen is an organism that causes disease.

Your body is naturally full of microbes. However, these microbes only cause a problem if your immune system is weakened or if they manage to enter a normally sterile part of your body.

Pathogens are different and can cause disease upon entering the body.

All a pathogen needs to thrive and survive is a host. Once the pathogen sets itself up in a host’s body, it manages to avoid the body’s immune responses and uses the body’s resources to replicate before exiting and spreading to a new host.

Pathogens can be transmitted a few ways depending on the type. They can be spread through skin contact, bodily fluids, airborne particles, contact with feces, and touching a surface touched by an infected person.

During oogenesis in an animal species with a haploid number of 6, one dyad undergoes nondisjunction during meiosis II. Following
Ivenika [448]

Nondisjunction is defined as the failure of the chromosomes to seperate during cell division. An animal with a haploid number of 6 (diploid number of 12) undergoes meiosis, and at the meiosis II (cells are already haploid from the meiosis I), nondisjunction occurs. The mature ovum will contain 6+1 chromosomes (n+1) because there is an extra chromosome from the nondisjunction. The second polar body will contain 5 chromosomes (normal would be 6) because the second polar body did not receive that extra chromosome due to nondisjunction. In the event of fertilization of the abnormal ovum with a normal sperm, the zygote will be a diploid (12 chromosomes) normally but since the ovum as an extra chromosome from the nondisjunction then the zygote will have an extra chromosome (13 chromosomes). One pair of chromosomes has an extra single chromosome and this is called a trisomy.
