Answer:

Herpes simplex virus that could be determined by using serology or viral PCR.

Explanation:

Herpes simplex is an infection caused by the human herpes virus (HSV 1 and 2) that is characterized by the appearance of small blisters, especially clustered on the lips and genitals, but which can appear anywhere else in the body. The disease is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sex, or from mother to child during pregnancy. In pregnancy, herpes simplex may pose a concern. Inside the womb the child is protected but can become infected during normal birth. When infected, the newborn has extensive vesicular and ulcerative lesions on the face and chest.

Diagnosis in newborns can be done by viral culture, but this test is very evasive for babies, and the use of serology test or viral PCR is most recommended.

In the following table, label each statement as true (T) or false (F). If the statement is false, rewrite it so that it is true.
iren [92.7K]
1) False. Scientists may predict something but realize a difference soon after before the test, so they could definitely change the hypothesis if they want. It’s only AFTER the experiment they cannot. Because a hypothesis is like a “guess” as to what’s going to happen, right?

2) False. A hypothesis can’t be “valid” because it’s literally a prediction.

3) True. Especially if you’re doing a chemistry lab, it’s really important things are done in order or else the product might result as something else you were expecting, or can be very dANGEROUS

4) True. The conclusion must be based on data because it’s the observation that was seen.

Hope this helps!! I could have answered in short form but I just wanted to make them understandable:)
