Scientists at Arizona State University sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected from hundreds of infected individuals. They found a deletion of 81 base pairs in some of the viruses. This large deletion is in a gene that codes for a protein that helps the virus escape the immune system. Predict how the frequency of viruses with this deletion will change in the population over time. Use evidence to support your answer.

Use the drop-down menus to match each part of the scenario to the correct scientific practice. akira records the speed of a reaction without a catalyst and then with a catalyst. akira creates a reaction without a catalyst and repeats the reaction with a catalyst. akira turns in a written lab report to his science teacher. akira wonders, "will adding a catalyst speed up this chemical reaction? " akira writes in his notes that adding a catalyst sped up the chemical reaction because the catalyst lowers the activation energy needed to get the reaction started.
