The plant shows symptoms of disease after being grazed on by herbivores.
Sap from one plant is rubbed on the leaves of a second plant; both plants eventually show disease symptoms.

symptoms.
After a gardener prunes several plants with the same shears, they all show disease symptoms.Slide21

The phylogenetic tree shows the hypothesized evolutionary relationship between the variant strains of H1N1 virus. Each branch tip is one variant of the H1N1 virus with a unique HA gene sequence. The more closely connected two variants are, the more alike they are in terms of HA gene sequence. Each fork in a branch, called a node, shows where two lineages separate due to different accumulated mutations. The number of nodes separating two variants is an indication of how many DNA sequence differences there are between the variants, thus how distantly related they are.

The scientists arranged the branches into groups made up of one ancestral variant and all of its descendant, mutated variants. They are color-coded in the tree. Do all of the groups have the same number of branches or branch tips? What does this result indicate?
No
; some of the groups died off before the others, so they could not undergo any further mutations
.
Yes; all of the groups arose at about the same time.
Yes
; all of the groups experienced the same mutation rate
.
No; some groups experienced a higher mutation rate than others.Slide26

The scientists also graphed the H1N1 isolates by the month and year of isolate collection, which reflects the time period in which each viral variant was actively causing illness in people. The graph shows the number of isolates collected from ill patients (one isolate per patient) on the
y
-axis and the month and year that the isolates were collected on the
x
-axis. Each group of variants is plotted separately with a line color that matches the phylogenetic tree diagram.Slide28

Once a group of variants had a peak number of infections, did members of that same group cause another wave of infection?
No, each group of variants caused only one wave of infection.
Yes, one group of variants caused multiple waves of infection.
This is not discernable from the graph.Slide31

No, each group of variants caused only one wave of infection.
Yes, one group of variants caused multiple waves of infection.

Consider the data from both the phylogenetic tree and the graph. Groups 9, 10, and 11 all had H1N1 variants that caused a large number of infections at the same time in Taiwan. Does this mean that the scientists’ hypothesis, that new variants cause new waves of infection, was incorrect?
Their
hypothesis was incorrect; the graph clearly shows three distinct peaks occurring in the same wave.
Their
hypothesis was still supported; each of these three groups has a different height peak.
Their
hypothesis was incorrect; all three groups are rooted in the same phylogenetic tree but caused three distinct peaks in the same wave.
Their
hypothesis was still supported; these three groups arose along different lineages but emerged to cause illness during the same wave.Slide33

One variant in the green groups (Groups 1, 3, and 6) was used to make a vaccine that was distributed very early in the pandemic. Based on the graphed data, does it look like the vaccine was effective?
Yes, it was effective; the peaks after 2009 were lower than the peaks recorded in 2009.
No
, it was not effective; there were still a large number of isolates collected later in the pandemic.
No
, it was not effective; there was still a measurable number of viral isolates from Groups 1, 3, and 6.
Yes
, it was effective; the green line never reaches 100 on the
y
-axis.Slide35
