i think each plasmid piece codes for a specific function. for example antibiotic resistance shown by antibiotic sensitive cell after a piece of plasmid that is antibiotic resistant gene recombine with cell DNA.

What is plasmid and what advantage might a bacterium gain by acquiring one?
Plasmids are circular pieces of dna, and a bacterium can gain its source
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.
Is human cell contain plasmid?
Plasmid is the property of prokaryotic cell i.e. of bacteria generally no mamalian cell have plasmid but ya there can be chances to have lillte part of DNA sequence to be simillar that of plasmid DNA sequence in prokaryotes
What does plasmids do?
plasmids are vectors that are used to replicate recombinant DNA in a host organism or cell. they are normally used in cloning experiments.
Little rings found in the DNA of bacteria called?
plasmids
Plasmids are circular pieces of DNA that exist in addition to the chromosomal DNA of certain bacteria and yeast?
true...
Pieces of DNA stored in yeast cells are called?
The circular DNA molecules that can be found in bacteria are called plasmids. Plasmids are a separate DNA molecule that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are commonly used in Biology classes to teach students about splicing.
What is plasmid and what advantage might a bacterium gain by acquiring one?
Plasmids are circular pieces of dna, and a bacterium can gain its source
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
plasmids that have transfer systems that allow transfer of DNA to unrelated species are called promiscuous plasmids.
What is the function of plasmid DNA?
Plasmids have small pockets of DNA in them.
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
Small accessory chromosomes found in bacteria and useful in recombinant DNA procedures are called?
plasmids.
When plasmids are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called?
When plasmids, are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called a
Circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently are called?
Circular DNA that can replicate on their own are called plasmids. In the field of biotechnology, plasmids are of great importance. Mitochondria also has some of its own DNA.
Is human cell contain plasmid?
Plasmid is the property of prokaryotic cell i.e. of bacteria generally no mamalian cell have plasmid but ya there can be chances to have lillte part of DNA sequence to be simillar that of plasmid DNA sequence in prokaryotes
What is inside the bacterium below is a small circular piece of DNA called?
Chromosomes unlike our cell they roam freely in the cytoplasm
What does plasmids do?
plasmids are vectors that are used to replicate recombinant DNA in a host organism or cell. they are normally used in cloning experiments.
