The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the contents of the satellite (SAT) chromosome, we can break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Satellite Chromosomes**: - Satellite chromosomes, or SAT chromosomes, are specific parts of chromosomes that are located at the terminal ends, beyond the secondary constriction. 2. **Identifying the Contents**: - The question asks what is contained in the satellite part of the chromosome. The options given are DNA, RNA, repetitive DNA, or none of these. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (a) DNA**: While it is true that satellite chromosomes contain DNA, this option is too broad and does not specify the type of DNA. - **Option (b) RNA**: Satellite chromosomes do not primarily contain RNA, so this option is not correct. - **Option (c) Repetitive DNA**: Satellite regions are known to contain highly repetitive DNA sequences. This is a specific characteristic of satellite DNA, making this option a strong candidate. - **Option (d) None of these**: This option can be eliminated since we know that satellite chromosomes do contain DNA. 4. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing the options, the most accurate answer is **(c) repetitive DNA**. This is because the satellite regions are characterized by having sequences that are repeated multiple times. ### Final Answer: (c) repetitive DNA ---
