The answer would be –genesis and –gram. 

Suffixes that have a Greek or Latin roots and that are used to combine with other words or parts of words are not called suffixes, these kind of affixes are called combining forms.


One combing form is –genesis.


As an independent medical term, this means the origin of something in medicine. When a doctor talks about the genesis of a contagion, he or she is speaking of the point of origin of a contagion.


-genesis used as a suffix, can indicate a particular process or pathogen. Example is parthenogenesis.


One combining form is –gram.


As an independent medical term, gram indicated the metric weight of an object as a unit of mass. If nurses talk about how much serving of food, they are talking about it in grams.

-gram signifies something written down. Example is pictogram.

valkas [14]
<span>In getting her plants to grow, the gardener should use the color blue for her colored translucent sheets. The reason for this is because it will be absorbed by the plants, causing them to get the light absorption that they so desperately need. Other colors, such as green, are absorbed into plants (as can be observed by their green colors), and thus they do not absorb the light through this color.</span>
