There are some genomes that have been reported to be positively coiled instead of negatively supercoiled, which is the status of most genomes that we have studied. The genomes that are positively supercoiled seem to belong to viruses and cells that exist at very high temperatures. Why might positive supercoiling be an advantage at high temperatures? (Select all that apply.)
1) Positive supercoiling would allow the DNA to readily separate for transcription and replication.
2) At high temperatures, the condition is more conducive for the strands to denature.
3) The high temperature would increase the formation of the hydrogen bonds between bases.
4) Negative supercoiling makes it more difficult for strands to separate while positive supercoiling would allow the strands to separate more readily.
5) Positive supercoiling would allow the DNA to maintain its double-stranded structure at higher temperature.
If the genomes that are positively supercoiled seem to belong to viruses and cells that exist at very high temperatures, might positive supercoiling be an advantage at high temperatures because:

1.In early March, it was reported that two main strains of SARS-CoV-2 had been identified, termed S and L, with the S type being the less virulent ancestral form representing about 30% of prevalence and the more virulent L type having descended from the S type and representing about 70% of prevalence. However, the prevalence of the more virulent L type seems to have decreased after early January, and it is thought that this resulted from human intervention against this...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
