it is a circular genetic material (in bacteria) that can replicate separately from the DNA in the main chromosome.
Bacteriocin Plasmids
The number of plasmid in a bacterial cell,which is otherwise known as Plasmid Copy Number(PCN), may vary from a mere one to a whopping thousand
Bacteria carry plasmids which is a double stranded DNA . It is how their extra chromosomal DNA is stored, they also have chromosomal DNA.Plasmids are extra-chromosomal DNA in Bacterial cells that replicate independently in cell. Plasmids are ubiquitous- means significant number of bacteria have plasmid and can have more that one plasmids. But Plasmids do not occur in all bacterial isolates.
7. Which of the following does NOT apply to plasmids?A. They are essential for the growth of the cell.B. They are composed of DNA.C. They multiply independently of the chromosome.D. They may pass from cell to cell in recombination
No. Plasmids are used for cell replication, and cannot be a fraction of something that a fraction of a cell.

The extra ring found in bacteria is called a plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often contain additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacterial cell, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain substances.
The fagella helps the bacteria move.

Plasmids are found within the nucleus of a cell, it is a small, circular piece of DNA found in bacteria and yeasts, which is able to replicate independently of the chromosomes. They are predominantly found in prokaryotes (in the cytosol of prokaryotes and some eukaryotes.--*Though plasmids are found in eukaryotes such as yeast, they are very rare in eukaryotes in general. Plasmids are much more prevalent in prokaryotes such as bacteria. Bacterial plasmids may be linear or circular and are basically pieces of DNA that carry non-essential genes and replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. Since bacteria don't have nuclei, bacterial plasmids exist freely in the cytosol in a supercoiled manner. Examples of bacterial chromosomes include the F plasmid, which is essential to bacterial conjugation (horizontal gene transfer) and various resistance plasmids that confer resistance to toxins including antibiotics.
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.
