A) The Tm of the plasmid would be less than the Tm of the chromosomal DNA.
B) The c0t1/2 value (time required to renature 50% of the DNA molecules) of the plasmid would be more than that of the chromosomal DNA.
C) The plasmid DNA and chromosomal DNA would both show approximately a 30%-40% increase in their absorption at 260 nm upon heating to 90°C.
D) The plasmid DNA would contain more negative supercoiling than the chromosomal DNA fragments.
