Question

In the Disease Transmission experiment you will simulate exposure to a "pathogen". Predict whether the rate of exposure (the amount of contacts) will affect an individual’s chance of becoming infected. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, the rate of exposure (the amount of contacts) will affect an individual’s chance of becoming infected

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the rate of exposure (the amount of contacts) will affect an individual’s chance of becoming infected

The larger is the rate of exposure to infected individuals, the higher is the probability of a healthy individual to get infected.

Let us suppose , if a healthy individual comes in contact with only other healthy individuals then the individual’s chance of becoming infected will be zero.
