The Figures Show Alternative Phylogenies of HIV Strains in a Victim

Multiple Choice

The figures show alternative phylogenies of HIV strains in a victim who was infected with HIV⁺ blood and in potential sources of the blood (the patient) and HIV strains in members of the community. Choose the true statement(s) about the evolution of this HIV strain.

A) Figure 1 supports that the victim contracted HIV from the patient, and Figure 2 supports that the victim contracted HIV from someone in the community.
B) Figure 1 supports that the victim contracted HIV from someone in the community, and Figure 2 supports that the victim contracted HIV from the patient.
C) Figure 1 supports that the HIV strain mutated into a new strain inside the victim's body, and Figure 2 supports that HIV did not mutate into a new strain inside the victim's body.
D) Figure 1 supports that the HIV strain did not mutate into a new strain inside the victim's body, and Figure 2 supports that HIV mutated into a new strain inside the victim's body.
