B. Satellite DNA consists of very large sequences repeated many times in tandem in large clusters.

C. In humans, the α satellite family, found in centromeric regions, has a repeat unit length of 171 bp.

D. In mammalian genomes satellite DNA is less than 10%, but in the fruit fly Drosophila virilis, it amounts to 50%.
