Question

Satellite DNA contains

• A. Repetitive DNA
• B. Segments forming sn RNA
• C. Segments forming sc RNA
• D. Both B and C.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Repetitive DNA

Satellite DNA consists of arrays of tandemly repeating sequences that are widely present (>30%) in the genome. Satellite DNA is mainly present in heterochromatin or the tightly packed regions of chromosomes in centromeres, telomeres, and sometimes even in the euchromatin region (active region of the genome).

So, the correct answer is 'Repetitive DNA.'
