Jordan is trying to determine what is making her sick. She goes to the doctor and they swab her throat. The doctor is able to see that the pathogen has DNA, ribosomes, a cell membrane, and is able to reproduce on its own.
Based on this, which pathogen is making Jordan sick?

A person infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may not have any symptoms for a period of time.
During this period, the virus affects the body by doing which of the following?
Viruses are because they are non-living, so they require a to reproduce. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own because they lack (so they cannot make protein).
Viruses have a capsid ("protein shell") which protects the . This is similar to the of a eukaryotic cell.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a virus most commonly spread through physical contact. It causes skin or mucous membrane growths (warts), and has also been found to cause cancer in humans. Most individuals do not show any symptoms, but will continue spreading the virus for their entire life. While there is no cure, the most common way to prevent contracting HPV is by getting three doses of the vaccine.
Which of the following best explains why humans can contract HPV, but your pet dog cannot?
Rhinovirus is highly contagious and may be spread through human contact. This virus is well known as the common cold and causes infants and many children to have a sore throat, runny nose, coughs, and body aches.
Once an individual is exposed to rhinovirus, it takes less than 2 days for symptoms to begin and lasts between 7 to 10 days.
The rhinovirus virus replicates by the cycle because .
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is virus that causes oral and genital herpes in humans. After HSV enters the human body, it to travels to the nervous system's sensory neurons and remains undetected for long periods of time. When symptoms do appear, they typically include blisters around the mouth and lips.
These blisters will go away after a period of time, but the individual will have flare up throughout their life. Which viral replication cycle does the herpes simplex virus complete for this infection?
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a unique virus that causes multiple illnesses in humans including chicken pox. Symptoms of chicken pox fade for most humans after 7-10 days, however the virus stays in their body for many more years without showing symptoms.
Individuals who have had chicken pox can develop shingles later in life which produce skin sensitivity, itchy patches, and red spots which may blister.
For most individuals who have had chicken pox, the symptoms of shingles do not develop for an average of 20-35 years later in their life.
Which viral replication cycle does the varicella-zoster virus complete for this infection?
The diagram below represents the two replication cycles of viruses. Use the diagram to complete the sentences. NOTE: a bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria.
Cycle A represents the cycle because .
Cycle B represents the cycle because .
Is it Lytic or Lysogenic?
(See hint!)
Lytic | Lysogenic | |
|---|---|---|
Symptoms occur within days of exposure to the virus. | ||
You get sick later, months to even years after exposure to the virus. | ||
Long incubation period | ||
Short incubation period |
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a unique virus that causes multiple illnesses in humans. After the first exposure to VZV, individuals develop itchy rashes and bumps within 14-16 days. This infection is commonly referred to as chicken pox.
The itchy rashes and bumps fade for most humans after 7-10 days. Which viral replication cycle does the varicella-zoster virus complete for this infection?
H1N1 flu is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the influenza A (H1N1) virus. It is transmitted rapidly though airborne droplets with infected particles. When exposed to the flu virus, people develop symptoms within days of exposure. The symptoms of H1N1 flu are listed below.
H1N1 Flu Symptoms
Acute respiratory illness
Fever
Cough
Sore throat
Body aches
Headaches
Chills and fatigue
Diarrhea and vomiting
What type of replication cycle does the H1N1 virus follow?
HPV is the most commonly spread STI (sexually transmitted infection), with about 1 million new cases reported each year.
Which of the following best explains why someone HPV cannot pass on the virus if they sneeze or cough?
