Repetitive DNA
- These are DNA sequences containing small segments repeated several times.
- Vary in length from several base pairs to hundreds and thousands.
- Can be segregated from bulk DNA by density gradient centrifugation because of which they appear as light bands.
Satellite DNA
- These are repetitive DNA sequences containing highly repetitive DNA.
- Shorter in length and are close to hundred base pairs long.
- Can be segregated from bulk DNA through density gradient centrifugation because of which they appear as dark bands and small peaks.
