Which one of the following statements about the particular entity is true?
  1. Centromere is found in animal cells which produces aster during cell division
  2. The gene for producing insulin is present in every body cell
  3. Nucleosome is formed of nucleotides
  4. DNA consists of a core of eight histones

Solution

Scientists have analysed the human DNA sequence present in a human-mouse somatic cell hybrid line possessing a translocation involving human chromosome-II and $\mathrm{X}$. This data indicates that the human insulin gene is located on the short arm of chromosome-II in every body cell but is not expressed in all cells.
