A plasmid is a circular ring of DNA that is separate from the main 'cluster' of DNA in a bacterium. They are not usually found in any other organisms apart from bacteria. They are used in genetic modification where and extra gene is inserted into the plasmid ring so the bacteria produces substances (such as insulin).

What is the difference between cyano bacteria and bacteria?
bacterias have plasmids. but cyno-bacteria haven't plamids.
Molecules of extrachromosomal DNA are also known as?
Extrachromosomal DNA molecules are also known as plasmids. These are small circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA in bacteria and other organisms. Plasmids often carry genes that provide additional functions to the host cell, such as antibiotic resistance.
What plastid is found in potato?
Potato contains amyloplasts, which are a type of plastid specialized for starch storage. These amyloplasts store energy in the form of starch granules, which provides the potato with a source of nutrients during growth and development.
