Question

Difference between repetitive dna and satellite dna

Answer 1

repetitive DNA

1. repetitive DNA refers to the stretched of DNA that repeat throughout the genome

2. consist consist of either tandem repeats of interspersed repeat

3. make consists of few base pair 100 of base pairs in the repeated unit

4. moderately repetitive sequence 10 to 105 per genome

5. located in the intergenic region of the genome

6. to main type r tandem repeats and interspersed repeat

7. serves as an evolutionary device catalysing the formation of new genes

8. appears as light bands

# satellite DNA

1. satellite DNA refers to the short repetitive DNA sequence often found in centromeric region of the genome

2. consist of tandem repeats

3. consist of short repeating unit upto 60 base pair long

4. consists of highly repetitive sequences greater than 106 repeat per genome

5. located on specific chromosomes and centromeres of the chromosomes

6. two main types are microsatellites and minisatellites

7. have a major role in DNA fingerprinting

8. appears as small dark bands
