rank the subsequent 5 human-infecting viruses from 'Mostdisease-causing' to 'Least disease-causing' (i.e."1" being mostdisease causing, "5" least disease causing).
**Explain Why Please**

-A virus containing genes that all have a promoter which is turnedon only by human transcription factors that normally promote musclegrowth.
-A virus with all outer epitopes similar to natural humanepitopes.
-A virus that destroys all dendritic cells and can survive inairborne saliva particles.
-A virus that inserts DNA randomly into the genome but must insertits DNA specifically at the beginning of the host RNA polymerasegene in order to create new viral particles.
-A virus that cannot be bound by free antibodies but that, uponinfecting cells, always presents a unique protein epitope on theinfected-cell surface.

Sometimes an HIV infected cell is not killed immediately after infection, but lives on, and continues to be a source of the infection for the lifetime of the patient. What is the mechanism that allows the HIV virus to remain in the cell, to get passed down to all descendants of that cell, and to retain the ability to be reactivated for the lifetime of the patient?

Question 7 10 pts

How does AZT block the production of infectious virus?

It acts as a substitute for a DNA nucleotide that can only be inserted by the viral reverse transcriptase. The presence of the AZT in the DNA aborts the production of new viral DNA.

It directly blocks the reverse transcriptase.

It blocks the protease that cuts apart the three viral proteins, which is a necessary step during viral synthesis.

It blocks the adsorption of the virus to the CXCR4 and CCR5 receptors on the T-cell surface.

Question 8 10 pts

How do protease inhibitors work?

HIV has which of the following characteristics?
