Question 1
What effect would a drug that either dramatically reduced or enhanced the fidelity of a viral RNA polymerase have on the survival and fitness of a virus in a population? Explain Why? Are there currently examples of such drugs? How do they work?
Question 2
Read the review by Feschotte and Gilbert on Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs). What are ERVs and why are they important? What impact have they had on viral and human evolution?
Question 3
Read the perspective by Arien et al about HIV evolving to a less virulent form. What are the mechanisms by which HIV may evolve to a less virulent form? What are the arguments for or against attenuation?
Question 4
Read the article by evolutionary biologist Paul Ewald entitled "Guarding against the Most Dangerous Emerging Pathogens: Insights from Evolutionary Biology." Describe his concepts on the evolution of virulence in terms of a virus. Use specific examples of viruses we have studied that demonstrate the concepts he outlines.
Question 5
Watch the recent "Coffee House Presentation" video entitled " Adaptation and Evolution: The Life of an RNA Virus." (The first 20 mins are the presentation and the rest is an excellent Q&A).What is "metagenomics" and how can it be used to detect and prevent emerging viral infections? Why is zoonotic virus transmission the reservoir for emerging diseases? What animals are commonly reservoirs for transmissioto humans? Why?
Discuss and explain the relative contributions of developed and developing nations to the global footprint
Organisms on the planet Uglantis, that orbits distant star, have metabolism remarkably similar to that in organisms on Earth with a few exceptions.
Such a condition is frequently accompanied by diarrhea, which causes a loss of body water. On the basis of what you have learned about osmotic water flows, describe why diarrhea may occur.
In Drosophila a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial (not fully developed) wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1 generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-type females.
Create and label a generalized life cycle of Fungi with special reference to ploidy. Label plasmogamy and karyogamy in the life cycle.
Means of transport would most probable be used for moving a medium-sized molecule (like a monosaccharide or an amino acid) from a low concentration on the outside of a cell to a high concentration on the inside of a cell.
Women's bladders, on average, are smaller than those of men. The distribution of bladder volume in women is approximately N (400, 75) in milliliters. Find the proportion of women's bladders with a volume between 500 and 600 ml.
Determine which of the following statements is true regarding the flow of energy from the sun to stored chemical energy?
Most human obesity does not follow Mendelian inheritance patterns, because body fat content is estimated through a number of interacting genetic and environmental variables.
About 5 percent of individuals with Down syndrome have a chromosomal translocation in which a third copy of chromosome 21 is attached to chromosome 14. If this translocation occurred in a parent's gonad, how can it lead to Down syndrome in a child.
How many chromosomes must be present
Explain what happens during each of the three main processes involved in the production of urine, namely filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
