In the process the bacterium causes the plant cells to proliferate and form a gall or tumour, most commonly at or near the junction of the root and the stem.

Water quality of Freshwater Creek Abstract: This report will be detailing the results found after testing three different water quality parameters on water samples taken at Freshwater Creek and comparing them with past results. It will determine if Freshwater Creek is, has been or is becoming polluted. The three tested parameters were dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia. What was found is that the results for all three tests fitted within the recommended guidelines for…

Asthma is a progressive inflammatory disease of the small bronchial airways constricting, causing the client difficulties in exhaling, that leads to breathlessness and wheezing.
