Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmids are self-replicating circular molecules of DNA that can be transferred between prokaryotic cells of different species. They may also pick up genes from other prokaryotes and usually contain genes separate from the bacterial chromosome. Therefore, all of these descriptions are true for plasmids.
