Answer 1

$\huge\underline\blue{Virus}$

• A virus is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts

• When infected by a virus, a host cell is forced to produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate

$\huge\underline\blue{Plasmid}$

• genetic structure in a cell that can replicate independently of the chromosomes, typically a small circular DNA strand in the cytoplasm of a bacterium or protozoan.

• Plasmids are much used in the laboratory manipulation of genes.
