Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

the size difference between most multicellular hosts and their pathogens results in which of the following evolutionary advantag
professor190 [17]

Pathogens can adapt more quickly than hosts since they have higher populations and faster generation periods.

Pathogens, of course, have the advantage in this evolutionary game because they can change far more quickly than the hosts—especially in long-lived animals like humans—due to their high population numbers and rapid generation rates. The relationship between surface area and complement activation shows how bacterial pathogenicity may be influenced by tiny size. The region of the microbial surface may also have a role in their action since other antimicrobial agents are focused there. A pathogen reacts with the host and creates infection, which results in the host being ill. Any dangerous microbial agent, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths, might be considered a pathogen.
