Despite GC pairs having an additional hydrogen bond than AT pairs,hyperthermophilic Archaea generally have a lower GC ratio in their genomes when compared to other heat-sensitive prokaryotes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperthermophilic Archaea have a lower GC ratio in their genomes because the additional hydrogen bond in GC pairs makes them more stable and less likely to denature at high temperatures.
