Question

Why is there such a wide variety of immune system responses between hosts when they are infected with the same virus? (1 point)

Each person’s immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus.

People that have already been infected are asymptomatic.

Some viruses are resistant to antibiotics, so they cause a stronger immune system response.

Slight variations due to mutations in the virus trigger different responses in people.

Answer 2

Is the following statement true? “Antigenic drift and other mutations to the DNA of viruses are always beneficial for the virus.” (1 point)

No, because mutated viruses may be less likely to replicate.
No, because different mutations cause a variety of immune responses.
Yes, because mutated viruses are able to infect more hosts.
Yes, because mutated viruses have less mRNA so they can copy and replicate faster.
