Plasmid is the small extra chromosomal double stranded circular forms of DNA that replicate autonomously.
They are naturally found in plant and animal cells
The term plastid was first introduced by American molecular biologist Joshua Lederberg in 1952
Plasmid size varys from 1 to over 1,000 kilo base
Plasmid are considered as transferable genetic elements or replicons capable of replicating in host
Plasmid carry genes related to metabolic activity
Plasmid cannot accommodate long DNA fragments so cosmids are constructed Cosmids are plasmids having fragments of lambda phage vectors
Some plasmids are given names of places where they are discovered eg pUC is Plasmid from university of California
