Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "It binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner".

Explanation:

It is not true that histones bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Histones and DNA have nonspecific bindings (occuring at any DNA sequence) given mostly by electrostatic interactions. DNA is a macromolecule that is highly negatively charged because of its phosphate residues, while histones are proteins that are highly positively charged because of its high content of positively charged amino acids. In consequence, the binding of histones and DNA occurs mostly in a nonspecific fashion given by electrostatic interactions.

Contact [7]
<span>This is true. There is debate as to from what period have the currently examined sponges come, but the common consensus is that they go all the way to the Precambrian period, some 600 million years ago. They gave way to many discoveries about evolution of organisms because it was the first organism to have some genes that are found in modern day organisms.</span>
