Answer:

A. The gene for insulin is located on chromosome 11 in all people.

Explanation:

Genomics includes the study of the content, organization, function and evolution of genetic information in a complete genome. The genomic term is relatively recent. It is considered that it was coined by Thomas Roderick, in 1986, to refer to the subdiscipline of genetics dedicated to the study of cartography, sequencing and analysis of the functions of complete genomes.

Insulin is formed as pre-proinsulin of the precursor protein. This is encoded by a 14kb series in the INS gene. In most animals including humans, a single gene for insulin is found. The human gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 at position 15.5 (11p15.5).

The insulin gene has recently been decoded in its complete form in genomic studies. The human and rat insulin genes have been reproduced and the DNA has been sorted. It has been shown that mouse and rat insulins are identical and have similar gene series and organization, which are similar in genetic series to humans.

Why is it important to study the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift?
Dvinal [7]
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.

It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.

Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.

It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.

Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.

When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
