The correct answer is: The gene for producing insulin is present in every body cell
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.
