In a r-independent terminator, there is a palindrome rich in GºC base pairs, followed by 8-10 uridine residues. Explain how each of the following changes might affect terminator function:

In a r-independent terminator, there is a palindrome rich in GºC base
pairs, followed by 8-10 uridine residues. Explain how each of the
following changes might affect terminator function:
(a) Substitution of cytidines for the 8-10 uridines.
(b) Mutations in the palindrome that decreased its GºC content.
(c) Elimination of half of the palindromic sequence.
