WGU D311 Study Set- Questions
and Answers 100% PASS
A litter of kittens arrives at an animal shelter, and the kittens have various multifocal, raised,
minimally haired skin lesions. The attending veterinarian believes these lesions are
suggestive of ringworm. What can the veterinarian do to prevent an outbreak of ringworm
among cats in the shelter?—ANSWER--Isolate the kittens from other animals because dogs
and cats are susceptible to ringworm
Approximately 40% of people receive the inactivated form of the influenza virus vaccine
annually. What does this fact imply regarding public health?—ANSWER--The value of
influenza virus vaccination for everyone could be better communicated to the public.
The label for one of the influenza virus vaccines states that the vaccine is "indicated for
active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A subtype viruses and
type B viruses contained in the vaccine" (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Which impact
can this have on public health?—ANSWER--The vaccine will protect vaccinated people from
an influenza virus that undergoes antigenic drift.
Smallpox is a highly contagious, fatal disease that has been eradicated since 1980. The
smallpox vaccine contains a poxvirus similar to the virus that causes smallpox. Why does the
vaccine contain a virus similar to the one that causes smallpox rather than one that contains
, the actual virus that causes smallpox?—ANSWER--The similar poxvirus does not cause a
smallpox infection, whereas the actual virus does.
Which statement describes prokaryotic cells?—ANSWER--Prokaryotic cells are found in
coccus form in both pairs and clusters.
Which statement describes eukaryotic cells?—ANSWER--The nuclei of eukaryotic cells are
surrounded by complex nuclear membranes.
Which statement describes eukaryotic flagella?—ANSWER--Eukaryotic flagella are flexible,
whip-like structures.
Which statement describes the endomembrane system?—ANSWER--It includes the Golgi
apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.
Which statement accurately describes similarities between
protozoa and fungi?—ANSWER--Both can be harmful or harmless depending on the context.
Why are algae considered photosynthetic organisms?—ANSWER--Algae produce chemical
energy from the sun's light energy.
Why are plasmids important to the survival of organisms?—ANSWER--Plasmids carry genetic
material, apart from the
genome, that can benefit the organism
Which statement describes bacteria?—ANSWER--Some bacteria have cell walls composed of
mycolic acid.
