Answer:

C. 3 indirect transmissions

Explanation:

In epidemiology, direct transmission is considered to occur when an individual has direct contact with a pathogen, which infects him and develops a disease. Indirect infections, on the other hand, occur when individuals come into contact with the pathogen through a transmission vehicle.

In this case, we can conclude that in the question above, there were 3 cases of indirect transmission. This is because all people who had contact with the pathogen, established that contact through the contaminated marker. In this case, the marker is a transmission vehicle.

Using the idea of a concentration
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane down its concentration gradient. If a membrane is permeable to water, though not to a solute, water will equalize its own concentration by diffusing to the side of lower water concentration (and thus the side of higher solute concentration).

Describe how X-linked traits are inherited
enyata [817]

Answer:

X-linked recessive inheritance is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child through mutations (changes) in a gene on the X chromosome. In males (who only have one X chromosome), a mutation in the copy of the gene on the single X chromosome causes the condition.

Stellar evolution is the life cycle of a star. A cycle suggests that upon death of a star, another star is born. How is this pos
ANTONII [103]
This is possible because when a star dies, it basically expands to its maximum (explodes). Therefore, the materials of the exploded star mix with the primeval hydrogen of the Universe. Later, other stars are formed out of this mixture. Thats also how the sun was formed. :)
