MCQs update

So I was right even tho my frame of mind is not.

From notes:
1) It is not telomeric DNA per se, but rather the association of an ensemble of proteins with telomeric DNA, that is essential for the formation of a protective cap structure. In human cells, a central component of the end-capping structure is the telomeric double-stranded DNA binding protein TRF2.

TRF2 is actually an important protein for this capping structure alto we did not talk much about it

2) Does Satelite DNA have high incidence of AT sequences?
There must be something unique about satelite DNA to make it stand out (a separate band from the rest of the genome).
Satelite DNA can have AT-rich sequences or GC-rich sequences, depending on the basic unit of a tandem repeat.
