DNA together with RNA are the most important molecules in biology. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms in our planet. Most DNA is found in the nucleus and some or small portion can be found in the mitochondria.

The main features of the three-dimentional structure of DNA are:
DNA is double-stranded composing of two polynucleotide strands alongside each other which are wound round each other to form a double helix. The two strands are joined together by hydrogen bonds between the bases and these bases form base pairs which is like a rung of a ladder. The base pairs are specific. Base pair A only binds to T (T with A), and C only binds to G (G with C). These are called complementary base pairs. As a wholes, DNA molecules control the production of proteins which characterize each type of organism.

Radda [10]

Answer:

Considering that homeostasis is restored in the patient, his blood pH range would return to normal levels (7.35-7.45), and his hydrogen ion concentration in the blood would normalize. The effect of normalizing the body by getting rid of excess hydrogen ions is achieved by concentrating these ions into the urine for expulsion, therefore increasing the pH levels of urine.

Explanation:

Acidosis is the condition wherein excessive acid build-up within the body causes the blood pH to become lower than normal (normal pH range 7.35-7.45). This may be due to an excessive loss of bicarbonate in the blood, also known as metabolic acidosis, or due to an impairment in the elimination of carbon dioxide in the blood from poor lung function, also known as respiratory acidosis. The body's natural response to acidosis is to increase the breathing rate to eliminate carbon dioxide in the blood, restoring the natural pH of the body.

In people with diabetes mellitus type I, the lack of insulin causes cells to breakdown fat aside from glucose as an energy source. This process produces ketones as a metabolic by-product for energy but also causes the body to be acidic. This is known as diabetic ketoacidosis.

What property of a virus makes it useful for making transgenic organisms?
morpeh [17]

Viruses reproduce by incorporating their DNA into an organism's genome to tap into the host replication mechanism to reproduce themselves. Viruses, therefore, cannot copy outside their host. This property of viruses makes them suitable for the production of transgenic organisms. This is achieved by replacing the DNA piece that causes virulence in the virus with the desired gene that is to be transduced into the host organisms.
