Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extrachromosomal DNA, also known as episomes, are found in both mitochondria and plasmids. Mitochondria have their own DNA separate from the nuclear DNA and can replicate independently. Plasmids, on the other hand, are small circular DNA molecules that can be found in bacteria and can carry genes that are not essential for survival but can provide benefits, such as drug resistance.
