Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Repetitive/Satellite DNA**: - Repetitive DNA, also known as satellite DNA, consists of sequences that are repeated multiple times in the genome. These sequences can be short or long and are characterized by their repetitive nature, meaning they appear in clusters or arrays. For example, a sequence like ACGT may repeat several times in a row. 2. **Identifying the Need for Separation**: - In genetic experiments, it is often necessary to isolate satellite DNA from the bulk genomic DNA to study its properties, functions, or roles in genetic processes. ...
