Answer:

the sample contains mostly heterochromatin  

Explanation:

Heterochromatin refers to a highly condensed state of DNA, whereas euchromatin is lightly packed. It is for that reason that heterochromatin is associated with a transcriptionally inactive state, whereas euchromatin regions are active for transcription. Heterochromatin regions resist DNases because these enzymes don't cut DNA randomly, but they show sequence preference. In consequence, highly repetitive DNA heterochromatin regions (e.g., centromeres, telomeres, etc) may exhibit resistance to DNA cleavage.
