Go through the following diagram of Nucleosome (structural unit of chromatin). Identify its componential parts indicated by A, B and C:

Following is the schematic structure of transcription unit having some important components indicated by A, B, C, D and E. In which of four option the components are identified correctly:

The fact that the genetic code is almost universal in living organisms is considered to be evidence that all organisms:

1. Are evolutionarily related

2. Are genetically identical

3. Have the same sequence of anticodons

4. None of the above
