Satellite DNA is important because it:

1. Codes for proteins are needed in the cell cycle.
2. Shows a high degree of polymorphism in the population and also the same degree of polymorphism in an individual which is inheritable from parents to children.
3. Does not code for proteins and is the same in all members of the population.
4. Codes for enzymes needed for DNA replication.

What is it that forms the basis of DNA Fingerprinting?

1. The relative difference in the DNA occurrence in blood, skin and saliva
2. The relative amount of DNA in the ridges and grooves of the fingerprints
3. Satellite DNA occurs as highly repeated short DNA segments
4. The relative proportions of purines and pyrimidines in DNA
