Widespread presence of highly repetitive dna

Reference no: EM1383710

Question: Highly repetitive DNA is common in eukaryotic chromosomes, it does not code for proteins; in fact, it is probably never transcribed into RNA. If highly repetitive DNA does not code for RNA or proteins, why is it present in eukaryotic genomes? Suggest some possible reasons for the widespread presence of highly repetitive DNA.
