What type of organisms have plasmids?
Plasmids are commonly found in bacteria and archaea. They are small, circular DNA molecules that exist outside the chromosomal DNA of the organism. Some yeast and plant cells can also contain plasmids.
What does plasmids do?
plasmids are vectors that are used to replicate recombinant DNA in a host organism or cell. they are normally used in cloning experiments.
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are unique to bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms. They are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently from the host cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids often carry genes that provide the host with additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain nutrients.
