Answer:
(a) Difference between repetitive and satellite DNA are as follows:
(b) Differences between mRNA and tRNA are as follows:
Repetitive DNA
Satellite DNA
Repetitive DNA consists of short identical genes which are repeated in tandem several hundred or thousand times. It is of two types. Highly repetitive DNA (satellite DNAs) and moderately repetitive DNA. They are mainly found in telomere, centromere and ends of transposons.
The proportion of the DNA of a eukaryotic cell that consists of very large number (approximately 106) of copies of a short nucleotide sequence. It occurs mainly around the centromeres and telomers of the chromosomes. The highly repetitive nature of this DNA fraction gives it a distinctive base composition, and consequently when samples of DNA are centrifuged it forms so-called ‘satellite bands quite separate from the band representing the bulk of the cell’s DNA.
(c) Difference between template and coding strand are the following:
Features

Very short, 2 minutes to 4 hours, degraded
Long, used again and again in translation
7.
Function
Transfer genetic information from genes to ribosomes to synthesize proteins
Transfer amino acid to mRNA
Template strand
Coding strand
1.
Strand of DNA having 3’-5’ polarity.
Strand of DNA having 5’-3’ polarity.
2.
It serves as the template in transcription and produces working copies of RNA molecule and is also known as master strand or sense strand.
It does not participate in transcription and is also called non template strand.
