There are two options for the next question and you can choose which one you will answer. Your options are shown below. Read these questions, then make a mental note of which one you prefer to answer: Option A: Suppose that a new disease has swept across Washington state. Those who are infected with this disease develop lesions on the skin. Many scientists suspect that the new disease is caused by a pathogen called Bobo Virus. Scientists have found that this virus is relatively easy to grow in the laboratory using cell culture. There is also a murine (mouse) model for studying the pathogenic effects of this virus. Through their work, scientists have found that Bobo Virus causes symptoms in 99% of the mice that were infected. However, only 95% of the infected mice developed skin lesions. The other 4% of the infected mice developed a respiratory illness and did not develop skin lesions. (a) In correct order, list all of Koch’s postulates. (b) Based on the information provided above, do you see any problems with identifying Bobo Virus as the cause of the new Washington State disease? Why or why not? Option B: Describe one way that regulatory T-cells become activated by normal flora.  Include all the cells/molecules/receptors that are involved. Go into as much detail as you can to comprehensively describe this process. Make sure to include how this activation results in the normal flora being left alone by the immune system.

For this question, a section from a submission from Fall 2023 research summary option is used. The student read and provided a summary of Monika Lisjak and Ordabayeva, Nailya (2023), “How Political Ideology Shapes Preferences for Observably Inferior Products,” Journal of Consumer Research, 49 (6), 1014–1031. This is text from the original article: “While consumers typically prefer observably superior products, there are situations in which some consumers may be open to observably inferior options. For example, prior literature suggests that when consumers encounter similarly priced options, some of which are inferior along  observable dimensions, they may attribute positive qualities to these inferior options along unobserved dimensions (Chernev and Carpenter 2001).” TurnItIn flagged the following text: “Consumer preferences typically lean toward observably superior products, but there are situations where observably inferior options gain consideration. Research in the past suggests that when consumers encounter similarly priced options, some of which are inferior in observable dimensions, they may attribute positive qualities to these inferior choices based on unobservable dimensions.”   Which of the following would have prevented this from being flagged for plagiarism?
