Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Yeast reproduces by budding. Bacteria reproduce either by binary fission or conjugation. Rickett-sia reproduces by binary fission.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Immunosuppression is not a requirement for the transmission of an infectious disease. However, a pathogen source, mode of transmission, and susceptible host must be present. A susceptible host does not have to be immunosuppressed to be considered susceptible. The host could have had surgery, be intubated, or have an indwelling catheter to be susceptible.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
