Answer:

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA.

They are most commonly found as small circular, double-stranded DNA molecules in bacteria; however, plasmids are sometimes present in archaea and eukaryotic organisms. In nature, plasmids often carry genes that benefit the survival of the organism and confer selective advantage such as antibiotic resistance.
