In addition to highly repetitive and unique DNA sequences, a third category of DNA sequences exists. What is it called, and which types of elements are involved in it?
A) composite DNA; telomeres and heterochromatin
B) multiple gene family DNA; hemoglobin and 5.0S RNA
C) dominant DNA; euchromatin and heterochromatin
D) moderately repetitive DNA; SINEs, LINEs, and VNTRs
E) permissive DNA; centromeres and heterochromatin

Moderately repetitive DNA includes sequences such as SINEs (Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements), LINEs (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements), and VNTRs (Variable Number Tandem Repeats). These elements are repeated multiple times in the genome but not as extensively as highly repetitive sequences.
