(N/A) Repetitive $DNA$ and Satellite $DNA$
Repetitive $DNA$ Satellite $DNA$
$DNA$ sequences that contain small segments repeated many times in the genome. $A$ subset of repetitive $DNA$ consisting of highly repetitive sequences that form distinct bands during density gradient centrifugation.

$(b)$ $mRNA$ and $tRNA$
No. $mRNA$ (Messenger $RNA$) $tRNA$ (Transfer $RNA$)
$1.$ Acts as a template that carries genetic information from $DNA$ for protein synthesis. Acts as an adaptor molecule that carries specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
$2.$ It is a linear molecule. It has a characteristic clover-leaf secondary structure (or $L$-shape $3D$ structure).

$(c)$ Template strand and Coding strand
No. Template Strand Coding Strand
$1.$ Acts as a template for $RNA$ synthesis; its sequence is complementary to the $mRNA$. Does not act as a template; its sequence is identical to the $mRNA$ (except $U$ replaces $T$).
$2.$ It runs in the $3' \to 5'$ direction. It runs in the $5' \to 3'$ direction.
