adenine
cytosine

101

A

GC skew

102
Q

oriC: skew changes from…to..

A

C to G
up to down

103
Q

terC: skew changes from…to…

A

G to C
down to up

104
Q

Mutational Theory

A

cytosine is not preferred in leading strain because of spontaneous deamination of C—> T

coding strand is single stranded more often than template strand = thus vulnerable to C—>T mutation

105
Q

Codon Bias Theory

A

in prokaryotes, G is more common in the +3 (wobble) position of codons than C

this results in more G’s on the leading strand
