In regards to HIV resistance allele and the incidence of AIDS is a population, answer the following:
Q: In terms of a change in net mutation rate, what would happen if the mutation rate from the resistant to
non-resistant allele was increased, or vice versa? Create an answer that is supported.
What distinguishes resistance and tolerance to an infectious disease? How can each be measured? What was the relationship between the two that Raberg et al 2007 demonstrated in mice and what are the evolutionary implications of their findings?
Since early 2020 human societies around the world have suffered a viral pandemic and struggled to cope with Covid-19. Provide one example of a policy or response that has been effective and one example of a policy or response that has been ineffective. Propose a policy that should be implemented in the near future. ( should be based on your knowledge of evolutionary biology.)

- Some advocate stockpiling the drug Tamiflu in the event of an influenza pandemic. Others point out that wealthy, Western nations would have an unfair advantage because developing nations (where the pandemic is most likely to start) would not have access to this expensive antiviral. Furthermore, some fear that indiscriminate use of the drug would promote the evolution of resistant flu strains. Given these caveats, do you think developed nations should stockpile Tamiflu for the protection and treatment of their citizens?
