Answer:

25%

Explanation:

According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.

This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:

30/120 × 100

= 1/4 × 100

= 100/4

= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.

Answer:

The pathogen replicates without using host cells replication machinery, and it is directly transmitted

Explanation:

We could infer that the disease is caused by bacteria, as we know that it can be cured by using <u>antibiotics</u>. Antibiotic a group of drugs capable of destroying bacterias or inhibit their growth.  

Bacterias have many different ways of propagating, one of them is by contact:

  • Direct contact: This occurs when people touch or kiss a sick person,  or there is an interchange of liquids and corporal fluids (such as sweat or blood) between the healthy person and the sick person.
  • Indirect contact: the transmission occurs through an object.

Bacterias do not need any other living being to reproduce and they are able to survive under extreme conditions. Bacteria do not need any host to replicate.

In the exposed example, the disease is cured by using antibiotics, and its transmission is by direct contact, such as handshaking or touching.
