9) What is the effect of the ∆32 allele of CCR5 on HIV binding?A) appears on the surface of CD4 T cells, but the HIV virion is unable to infect the host cell B) does not appear on the surface of CD4 T cellsC) appears on the surface of the CD4 T cells and inactivates the virion upon bindingD) interferes with binding of the virion to the CD4 receptor proteinE) appears on the surface of the CD4 T cells and causes the virion to lyse upon binding Answer: BSection: 1.3Skill: Application/Analysis10) The ∆32 allele of CCR5 is found at the highest frequency in which of the following populations?A) AfricansB) JapaneseC) North Americans D) EuropeansE) South Americans Answer: DSection: 1.3Skill: Knowledge/Comprehension
