The question refers to the following table, which compares the percent sequence homology of four different parts (two introns and two exons) of a gene that is found in five different eukaryotic species. Each part is numbered to indicate its distance from the promoter (for example, Intron I is the one closest to the promoter). The data reported for species A were obtained by comparing DNA from one member of species A to another member of species A.

Which of these four gene parts should allow the construction of the most accurate phylogenetic tree, assuming that this is the only part of the gene that has acted as a reliable molecular clock?

Choose true and false

A. Repetitive DNA is characterized by its relatively slow rate of renaturation.

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%.
