Are single-copy genes & highly repetitive DNA strands (satellite DNA) replicated?

I've read that single-copy genes are genes that are present once in the eukaryotic haploid genome. Does this mean that the sequence is present only once in a DNA strand? Does this suggest that they are not replicated? Also, are highly repetitive DNA sequences (junk DNA) replicated?
