We start prescribing antiviral drugs like acyclovir (Valtrex) to pregnant women with a history of herpes around 36 weeks to lower the chance of experiencing an outbreak close to birth. This lessens the amount of virus that is shed in the vaginal region close to labor.
If a mother arrives to Labor and Delivery during labor or for a prearranged induction, we will thoroughly inspect the perineum to check for lesions and do a speculum exam to check for cervical lesions.
In order to assist avoid the infant from coming into touch with any sores, we will advise a C-section if we notice anything suspect. An important risk factor for infection is contact with active lesions. The chance of passing it to her unborn child during birth is less than 1% if she had a history of herpes before becoming pregnant but no sores at the time of delivery.

Reducing shedding also lowers the likelihood that active lesions would be present during birth, which may enable us to forgo a C-section.

Answer:
a. are found in bacterial lipopolysaccharide
Explanation:
Oligosaccharides are the carbohydrates which are made of approximately 3-10 units of monosaccharide. Oligosaccharides are bound to the lipids or the proteins to form the glycolipids and the glycoproteins respectively by the O-glycosidic or the N-glycosidic linkages. <u>They are found in the bacterial lipopolysaccharides especially cell wall lipopolysaccharides of the Gram negative bacteria. Llipopolysaccharide of the Gram negative bacteria consists of O-antigen that consists of repeated oligosaccharide units.</u>
Answer:
Mutated DNA affects proteins during translation which can cause different proteins to be created
Explanation:
The process of protein-synthesis is when mRNA is translated into different proteins, which takes place in the ribosome. Mutated DNA can cause something known as a "frameshift mutation" where the codons are either inserted, duplicated, and or deleted. The mutation in the mRNA will cause the codons to be misarrageded effectively causing a different protein to be created! We know this through our codon chart, which can be searched for online.
I recommend looking more into Protein Synthesis if you have further questions, I hope this answer helped!
