Answer 2

Hello there!

Answer:

A plasmid is:

a) Small extrachromosomal circular self replicating DNA that can carry genes into host organism.

Extra info:

↦ Plasmids are mainly found in the bacterial cells. They help in the process of genetic recombination (bacterial conjugation) - DNA transfer from F+ to F- bacteria via sex pili (conjugation tube).

↦ When this extra chromosome DNA (plasmid) links with chromosomal DNA, they're collectively called episome.

↦ R plasmids are also there on the basis of antibiotic resistance factor.
