Plasmids are sections of DNA that are independent of the main chromosome found in prokaryotes. It does not have any proteins other than the ones associated with replication of the plasmid.

What plasmids are and how they are used to get bacteria to synthesize a new protein that they normally do not synthesize?
Plasmids are circles of DNA. These have genes that can be transferred from one bacteria that has it to another. These genes can code for a protein that one cell normally doesn't code for. This done by a process called bacterial conjugation.
When plasmids are used to produce a desired protein what happens?
the desired gene is inserted into the plasmid and the plasmid is returned to the bacterium by transformation.
What causes protozoan plasmids?
Protozoa do not have plasmids in nature.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
Plasmids are unique to what?
Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.

Exogenous DNA can be inserted into bacterial cells in order to alter their genetic makeup and support expression of new protein products What are they?
Plasmids.
What happens after genetically modified plasmids inserted into bacteria?
Plasmids are cloned and start producing protein .
What causes protozoan plasmids?
Protozoa do not have plasmids in nature.
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
In many bacteria genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on what dissimilation plasmids exons plasmids factors or transposons?
plasmids
What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents
Is prokaryote used in plasmids?
No, it's vise versa. Plasmids are used in and by the prokaryotes.
What types of plasmids allows a bacterial cell to kill its competitors?
Bacteriocin Plasmids

What is inside the bacterium below is a small circular piece of DNA called?
Chromosomes unlike our cell they roam freely in the cytoplasm
