Solution:

Plasmid is a small circular double stranded DNA molecule present in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell. It can replicate independently of bacterial chromosome. Due to this characteristic of plasmid, it is used as the vector (vectors are for the transferring of a piece of DNA to target gene) in gene cloning.
