Home Communicable: Capable of being transmitted from one host to another. Vector: An organism that transmits a pathogen from one host to another. Prodrome: Early symptoms indicating the onset of a disease. Septicemia: The presence of bacteria in the blood, leading to systemic illness. Bacteremia: The presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. Septic shock: A severe and advanced stage of infection resulting in organ failure and dangerously low blood pressure. Purulent: Containing, forming, or causing pus. Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes due to the build-up of bilirubin. Hemoptysis: Coughing up blood. Dysuria: Painful urination. Hematuria: Blood in urine. Pyuria: Presence of pus in urine. Hyperemic: Increased blood flow to a tissue. Chapter 6: Genetics and Genomics Translocation: The movement of a segment of DNA from one chromosome to another. Autosomes: Non-sex chromosomes that occur in pairs in somatic cells. Gametes: Reproductive cells (sperm and eggs). Transcription: The process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA
