Answer:

4

Explanation:

Number of fossils collected over period 1:

400

Number of fossils collected at a later period :

204

For each display case to have the same number of fossils ; the greatest number of fossils possible per case:

Obtain the greatest common factor of both 400 and 204

400 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400

204 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 102

Hence, the greatest common factor (400 and 204) is 4

Hence, the greatest Number of Fossil possible per case = 4

Degger [83]

Adhesion depends on binding between specific molecules on both the host and pathogen so that the pathogen can gain a stable foothold on host tissues.

<h3>What is adhesion?</h3>

In epidemiology, adhesion makes reference to the process in which pathogen and host interact during an infection.

The adhesion process is fundamental to reach the survival of the pathogen during a particular infection.

These pathogens can be any type of microorganism able to cause harm to the host (e.g., bacteria and fungi).
