The most common explanation of the transmission of the Black Death is flea bites. Infected fleas were carried on rodents, and these fleas transmitted the virus to humans.

There are still several different theories about how the Black Death was spread, however. There's a Wiki page called "Theories of the Black Death" that may be helpful.

At the time of the Black Death, bacteria and viruses hadn't been discovered yet. People thought that sickness was transferred through bad smells, which were called "miasma."

The long beaks of the masks were stuffed with strong-smelling herbs, spices, and dried flowers—lavender, roses, peppermint—which were thought to keep away the "evil" smells that were thought to cause disease.

Pretty cool stuff!

Answer: etiolation of plant growth in shade, with fast growing cell without chloroplasts. Out of shade, cell differentiate again to produce photosynthesising cells

Explanation: It is a subjective decision as to what is ‘best’. Good examples are plant responses to changes in the nutrient supply.

when soil nitrogen is depleted some plants, such as legumes, grow nodules on their roots, with cells that release chemical signals to attract nitogen fixing bacteria.

Lack of light induces etiolation in many plants. New cells elongate and develop without chloroplasts, with rapid cell division exhibiting gravitropism, extending upward. When they grow beyond the shade area, cell differentiation changes again, to produce photosynthesising cells.
