The satellite DNAs of Drosophila virilis can be isolated, essentially free of main-fraction DNA, by density-gradient centrifugation.

Question:

The satellite DNAs of Drosophila virilis can be isolated, essentially free of main-fraction DNA, by density-gradient centrifugation. If these satellite DNAs are sheared into approximately 40-nucleotide-pair-long fragments and are analyzed in denaturation–renaturation experiments, how would you expect their hybridization kinetics to compare with the renaturation kinetics observed using similarly sheared main-fraction DNA under the same conditions? Why?
