Explanation:
HIV is a retrovirus with two copies of single-stranded RNA as its genome. It uses reverse transcriptase to convert RNA into DNA upon infection. Double-stranded DNA is typical of many organisms. Single-stranded DNA viruses exist (e.g., parvovirus). Double-stranded RNA viruses include rotavirus. The viral RNA genome enables integration into host DNA via a DNA intermediate.

Explanation:
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide), released by the small intestine, inhibits gastric acid secretion and motility, and stimulates insulin release. Gastrin stimulates acid secretion, secretin stimulates bicarbonate, CCK stimulates gall bladder contraction. GIP was originally named for its gastric inhibitory effect.

The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane surrounding each lung; the visceral pleura adheres to the lung surface, and the parietal pleura lines the chest wall. The space between them contains pleural fluid, reducing friction during breathing. Pericardium surrounds the heart, peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity, meninges cover the brain and spinal cord.
