Answer 2

Answer:

The errors in the table are: Skin cancer is infectious (which is wrong), Flu is noninfectious (which is wrong), and AID is noninfectious (which is also a wrong statement). There are three (3) wrong statements in this table.

Explanation:

Skin cancer is caused by the loss of divisional control mechanism possessed by healthy cells, which makes the cell to defer apoptosis or programmed cell death, and tend to multiply at a faster uncontrollable rate and eventually lead to tumors. This is due to an alteration to the genetic makeup at the segment that controls cell division in the DNA. This problem cannot be passed to others since it is not by an external infectious agent such as bacteria or viruses.

FLU is caused by the contagious viral agent called the Influenza virus; it can be transmitted from an infected individual to a healthy person; it is infectious. Likewise, AIDS, which is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is caused by the highly infectious virus called Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
