Question

Fernanda is feeling sick and goes to the

doctor. Upon taking a blood sample, the
doctor observes that Fernanda's cells
contain a pathogen that seems to be made
of small cells with no nucleus. What type of
infection does Fernanda have?
bacterial
fungal
none of the above
viral

Answer 1

bacterial

Step-by-step explanation:

A prokaryotic organism is an organism that does not possess a membrane-bound nucleus that houses its genetic material. Organisms grouped under this domain are bacteria, archaebacteia etc.

According to this question, Fernanda goes for a blood sample because she felt sick. The result of the blood sampling shows that the cells of Fernanda contain a pathogen that seems to be made of small cells with no nucleus. This property describes a prokaryotic pathogen. Hence, the infection is most likely to be that of a BACTERIAL INFECTION.

Note that, a fungus is eukaryotic while a virus is considered non-living because it can only replicate in a living host.
