page 11 of 11 Evolution of the Influenza Virus Quick Check 4 of 54 of 5 Items Question Why is there such a wide variety of immune system responses between hosts when they are infected with the same virus?(1 point) Responses Each person’s immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus. Each person’s immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus. People that have already been infected are asymptomatic. People that have already been infected are asymptomatic. Some viruses are resistant to antibiotics, so they cause a stronger immune system response. Some viruses are resistant to antibiotics, so they cause a stronger immune system response. Slight variations due to mutations in the virus trigger different responses in people. Slight variations due to mutations in the virus trigger different responses in people. Skip to navigation

Answer 1

The most appropriate response to the question regarding the wide variety of immune system responses between hosts infected with the same virus is:

**"Each person’s immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus."**

This response acknowledges the individual variations in immune responses due to genetic differences, previous exposures to pathogens, and overall health, which can significantly influence how each person's immune system reacts to the same viral infection.

The other options either contain misconceptions (e.g., about asymptomatic individuals or antibiotics) or do not address the core of immune system variability effectively.
