Q. Plasmid found in bacteria are used as vectors in molecular biology/biotechnology work. These genetic elements of bacteria are

AMUAMU 1995

Solution:

: Plasmid is a small, extrachromosomal, circular molecule of DNA that replicates independently of the host DNA. They are found in bacteria. They are divided into two classes: the large plasmids which include certain bacteriocinogens and the small plasmids which include those from 1.5 to $ 15\mu m $ . in length. They are used as vectors in genetic engineering.
