Why are replication origins usually AT-rich?
AThymine binds helicase
BA-T pairs have three H-bonds
CAdenine is a pyrimidine
DA-T pairs have two H-bonds
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A-T pairs have two H-bonds
With only two hydrogen bonds per pair, AT-rich DNA is easier to unwind than GC-rich DNA.
