“A new disease has recently been discovered in a village, and you have been brought in to investigate. The disease appears to pass from one person to another when they shake hands, and can be cured with antibiotics. What can you say about this disease”

The disease can be transmitted directly from person to person. Also, the pathogen involved is not a virus.

Explanation:

Since the disease is being passed when hands are shaken this is a transmittable disease. Without taking proper precautions such as using hand sanitizer and washing hands, the virus will spread rapidly.

The pathogen can't be a virus since it can be cured with antibiotics. Antibiotics are normally given to people who have a bacterial infection and the medicine kills the bacteria in the body.

not the best question format lol but what i think might as scale color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, the green allele and the yellow allele. when moths that are homozygous for green scales are mated with moths that are homozygous for yellow scales, 100% of the offspring have green scales.
