AP Biology (Period Per. 3) Assignments

 

Optional Prompts:

1. According to the article, the greater amount of time a virus spends in contact with humans, the more likely it is to become contagious. Using concepts from evolution, explain why this might be the case. Additionally, discuss what sort of ecological/environmental variables may cause this increased exposure.

 

2. If a pandemic were to occur as a result of H7N9 (or a similar virus) spreading worldwide, predict how it would affect the human population: immediately, 25 years post eradication of the pandemic, 100 years post eradication of the pandemic, 10,000 years post eradication of the pandemic.

 

3. In what ways is the human population better equipped to combat a pandemic? In what ways are we more vulnerable to a pandemic? 

1-2 Paragraph Answers 2 Points Each

4. R-naught of a virus is the amount of people that an individual with the virus is likely to infect within the infectious period. In the movie, the r-naught of MEV-1 is 4. Historically diseases like measles and pertussis have r-naught values of 12-18 and 12-17. Discuss the characteristics of a disease that you think would contribute to a higher r-naught value. Also, discuss the characteristics of a society that may contribute to or reduce the spread of a disease.
