Instructor: Renee McFarlane
NAME _________________________________________
Mark your answers on BOTH the scantron sheet and on the test.
Write your name on the first page of the test and on the scantron answer sheet. If there is not an answer marked
on the test, then you will not receive credit for mistakes due to erasure.
The test is worth 100 points. The multiple-choice will be worth 80 points and the true/false questions are worth
a total of 20 points.
Please report any typos or numbering errors.
Finally, if a question is not clear, ASK for clarification. If you are confused about how to mark the
answers on your scantron sheet ASK! Credit will not be given for unasked questions.

of
a. DNA replication

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF POINTS! NO EXCEPTIONS!) We watched the show House, M.D. during two class sessions. What type of infection was Echovirus? What was the ultimate treatment for the babies? Who was the culprit and what type of transmission was this? During clinic visits, what was House referring to when he mentioned “parasite”?
