Cryptic plasmids are plasmids that have no known function. They occur in a number of bacterial species.
A plasmid is a circular loop of DNA, found, for the most part in prokaryotic cells (bacteria). It is much smaller than the single chromosome.
Most bacterial plasmids fall into two main groups. There are relatively few copies per cell of large plasmids, with about 100,000 base pairs. These have enough genes to encode approximately 100 polypeptide chains. There are rather more copies of smaller plasmids that have around 10,000 or fewer base pairs (enough to code for up to about 10 genes).
At least some cryptic plasmids have been found to contain replication genes.

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
Do eukaryotes possess plasmids in their genetic makeup?
No, eukaryotes typically do not possess plasmids in their genetic makeup. Plasmids are more commonly found in prokaryotic cells.
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.
Can plasmids self-replicate within a bacterial cell?
Yes, plasmids can self-replicate within a bacterial cell.
Are plasmids single or double stranded?
Plasmids can be either single or double stranded, but most commonly they are double stranded.
What are the degradative plasmids and what are their properties?
Degradative plasmids are a type of plasmid that carry genes encoding enzymes which allow the host bacteria to degrade or metabolize specific compounds, such as pollutants or toxins. These plasmids can confer a selective advantage to bacteria in environments with those compounds, as they provide the ability to break them down for energy or survival. Examples include plasmids carrying genes for the degradation of hydrocarbons or pesticides.

What are the properties of plasmid?
Plasmids are small, circular, extra-chromosomal DNA molecules found in bacteria. They often carry non-essential genes that can confer advantages such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmids can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome, allowing for their easy manipulation and transfer between bacteria.
