True/False COVID-19 is the virus that causes humans to become sick much like AIDS is the the virus that causes HIV.
True
False
Coronavirus is a(an) ______ virus with a RNA genome that uses _____ glycoproteins to bind to mammalian cells
packaged;sticky
enveloped;sticky
packaged;spike
enveloped;spike
True/False RNA vaccines are less stable than DNA-plasmid vaccines because the enzymes in RNA vaccines degrade quickly thus requiring them to remain frozen or refrigerated.
True
False
How many phases of the vaccine trial are normally needed before production can begin?
2
3
4
5
The poliovirus outbreak happened in the early 1900’s and was eradicated (put to an end) in the United states in 1979 using a vaccine. When was the wild poliovirus certified as being eradicated (put an end to) in Africa?
August 25, 1985
August 25, 1995
August 25, 2005
August 25, 2020
The Coronavirus trial began within months of the outbreak. The Ebola vaccine was considered fast-tracked and took _______ to reach widespread trials.
2 years
5 years
2 months
5 months
According to the WHO article, herd immunity_______
is established when a herd of cattle are innoculated with the immunization and show no signs of infection.
is designed so you can protect yourself when you get a vaccine.
happens when a lot of people in the community are vaccinated making it difficult for the pathogen to circulate.
will only happen when every person in the community contract the virus.
What type of virus type of microscope is needed to see the Coronavirus?
Electron microscope
Compound light microscope
Stereo microscope
Inverted microscope
What is unusual about the SARS-CoV-s (Covid) virus?
This virus is very fragile which makes it vulnerable to immunizations.
This virus encodes a protein with proofreading activity which makes the virus more stable.
This virus replicates slower than most viruses making it easier to create a vaccine.
This virus is part of a family of coronaviruses that are created by humans.
True/False Every person is able to receive the vaccine for COVID-19. There are no health reasons for a person to refuse the vaccine.
True
False
Most vaccines are _________, but the Coronavirus vaccine was made by ______.
protein-based; injecting enzymes into human cells
enzyme-based; injecting proteins into human cells
gene-based; injecting DNA or RNA into human cells.
DNA or RNA based; injecting genes into human cells
How was the Coronavirus named?
It was name due to its spiked crown like appearence.
It was named after the scientist Fredrick Corona who found it.
It was name after the beverage that is not good for people to drink.
It was named after a planet from the Corona constellation.
Is COVID is a lytic or lysogenic virus?
Lytic
Lysogenic
How does the Maderna vaccine affect the body?
It makes the body immune to the spike protein, which coronaviruses use to enter the cells.
It makes the immune system respond more aggressively to many different germs and viruses.
It introduces a weakened form of the virus that causes COVID-19, causing the immune system to genreate antibodies for it.
It teaches cells to make a protein siminlar to one coronaviruses use, which causes the immune system to create antibodies for that protein.
According to the Newsela article, why might a revised version of the Moderna vaccine be necessary?
It is not equally effective across all ages and racial groups.
The coronavirus could undergo genetic mutations that make it ineffective.
It causes side effects such as fatigue, headaches and joint pain.
The coronavirus still managed to infect some people who received it during the trial.
True/False Viruses can be transmitted from animals to human and is called zoonosis.
True
False
Even though COVID-19 is more ________ spread, doctors seem to think ______.
difficult to; that the virus will mutate quicker than influenza, therefore they will need to change the vaccine makeup yearly.
easily; that the virus does not mutate as quickly as influenza allowing them to use the same vaccine for a longer period of time without having to change it.
easily;that the virus will mutate quicker than influenza, therefore they will need to change the vaccine makeup yearly.
difficult to; that the virus does not mutate as quickly as influenza allowing them to use the same vaccine for a longer period of time without having to change it.
True/False According to the CDC article, it would take many travelers with Polio to enter the United States to reintroduce the virus.
True
False
To quickly create the vaccine for COVID-19, researchers are using ______ engineering rather than traditional methods that may include the use of _______.
replicated; the dead virus
injection; lipids
genetic; chicken eggs
duplicated; open wounds
Both the Moderna and the Pfizer vaccine rely on ________ which contains instructions to build the spike protien that helps the virus unter human cells.
antigens
mRNA (messenger RNA)
antibodies
a dead injected virus
