A parasite moving between individuals other than parents and their offspring uses horizontal transmission.

Horizontal transmission is the transmission of infections between (parasites) that are not in a parent-child relationship (vertical transmission). Horizontal transmission may include the carriers or <span>vectors which are other species. Transmission, in that case, occurs via the bite of the vector (an infected organism), like in malaria.</span>

A new life form was discovered on Mars, one based upon Silicon instead of Carbon. Explain what properties Silicon has that allow
Vesna [10]

Group IV of the Periodic Table of the Elements contains carbon (C), silicon (Si) and several heavy metals. Carbon, of course, is the building block of life as we know it. So is it possible that a planet exists in some other solar system where silicon substitutes for carbon? Several science fiction stories feature silicon-based life-forms--sentient crystals, gruesome golden grains of sand and even a creature whose spoor or scat was bricks of silica left behind. The novellas are good reading, but there are a few problems with the chemistry.

<span>
CRYSTALLINE CREATURES? Silicon can grow into a number of lifelike structures, but its chemistry makes it unlikely that it could be the basis for alien life-forms.</span>

Indeed, carbon and silicon share many characteristics. Each has a so-called valence of four--meaning that individual atoms make four bonds with other elements in forming chemical compounds. Each element bonds to oxygen. Each forms long chains, called polymers, in which it alternates with oxygen. In the simplest case, carbon yields a polymer called poly-acetal, a plastic used in synthetic fibers and equipment. Silicon yields polymeric silicones, which we use to waterproof cloth or lubricate metal and plastic parts.
