Histone modification:

A. is fixed; once a histone is modified, it stays
that way and the genes with which it is
associated are turned on or off permanently.
B. is fixed, but this has no effect on whether
genes are expressed.
C. is randomâ€"sometimes the lysines are
modified and sometimes they're not, but the
state is independent of the environment or
cell type.
D. can change over time in response to
environmental cues, allowing genes to be
turned on or off as needed.
E. can change over time in response to
environmental cues, but this has no effect on
gene expression.

A 45-year-old diabetic has entered the hospital. Routine blood work shows that his blood pH is dropping and is currently at 7.3 (normal blood pH is about 7.4). Explain what could be occurring in the kidneys to cause a drop in blood pH. If the acidosis

cannot be reversed quickly, what type of immediate treatment might the patient need to restore kidney function? There are two types of this treatment. How do they differ from each other? What sorts of complications might be expected? What will be an ideal response?
