What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?
StaxdeMorgan
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 bacteria
- resistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents

Extrachromosomal DNA in prokaryotic cells can be found in the form of?
Plasmids.
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?
DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.
Do all eukaryotic cells have plasmids?
Most plasmids are found in prokaryotic cells, but a few eukaryotic cells also have plasmids. An example of a eukaryote with plasmids is the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
What is a small circular piece of DNA?
They are called chromosomes. More specifically, they are plasmids, and are only found in bacterias.
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.
Extrachromosomal DNA in prokaryotic cells can be found in the form of?
Plasmids.
Little rings found in the DNA of bacteria called?
plasmids
Do plasmids have protein?
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.
Do all cells have plasmid?
No. Plasmids are special circular DNA structure that is only found in prokaryotes.
Do eukaryote cells have plasmid?
No. Plasmids are special circular DNA structure that is only found in prokaryotes.
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
Where is DNA located in prokaryotic cell?
DNA is found in a, usually single, chromosome and in plasmids within the cytoplasm.
A small ring of DNA that can be taken up by bacteria?
DNA is spliced into bacterial DNA in rings called plasmids.
What is the function of plasmid DNA?
Plasmids have small pockets of DNA in them.
Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?
DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.
What are catabolic plasmids?
circular, double stranded unit of DNA that replicates within a cell independently of the chromosomal DNA and is most often found in bacteria.
