Question

Differentiate between repetitive DNA and satellite DNA.

Repetitive DNA         Repeated DNA sequence may or may not be present in text. Sequence of N2 Bases present in more th--an 1copy in a genome. Variability may or may not be present.



Satellite DNARepeated sequence occur in tandem.Part of DNA having repeated short seque--nces of the N2 Bases.Variability occurs. 

Answer 1

Repetitive DNA    

• It includes both highly repetitive and middle repetitive DNA.    
• The middle repetitive DNA present in ther RNA genes code for the ribosomal RNAs.

Satellite DNA

• It represents the highly repetitive DNA.
• It does not code for any proteins or RNA.
