Why do HIV strains from people with advanced disease appear more virulent? They have a slower replication rate. They use more coreceptors such as R-4. They are smaller in size. Their genetic material is more stable.

Step 1
Virulence refers to the severity or harmfulness of a disease. In the context of HIV, increased virulence often means a faster progression of the disease and more severe symptoms. Let's analyze the given options: 1. **They have a slower replication rate.** If Show more…

Why are untreated infections with HIV deadly? Group of answer choices Evolution of the human population to resist another virus has left us vulnerable to HIV. The HIV population within each patient evolves to become more aggressive over time. The HIV population as a whole has evolved to balance the rate of transmission versus the life span of the patient. All three other answers may be correct.

Why are all the sequences - black (except HIVELI) and red - more closely related to each other than to HIVELI? Because HIV first arose in Africa; all the non-African sequences in this sample are likely derived from a single (or a few) ancestral strain(s) that entered North America from Africa. Because HIV specializes through sequence evolution to each local population it encounters. Because African strains of the virus evolve faster than North American ones. Because African strains of the virus evolve slower than North American ones.
