Each haploid bacterium typically has a single chromosome, so this type of replication control is called single copy.

1100 sequences in the E. coli genome that fit these criteria, suggesting more than half of the cell’s transcripts are terminated at intrinsic terminators.

Misalignment of RNA combined with the unusually weak RNA–DNA hybrid formed from the rU-dA RNA–DNA base pairs resulting from the stretch of U residues, destabilize the elongation complex.

Termination efficiency can vary from 2% to 90%, Point mutations reduce termination efficiency usually occur within the stem region of the hairpin, replacing GC base pairs with weaker AT base pairs

Readthrough transcripts refer to the fraction of transcripts that are not stopped by the terminator.

Termination is prevented by specific ancillary factors that interact with RNA and/or RNA polymerase, a situation referred to as antitermination.
