A plasmid is an extrachromosomal piece of DNA that is separate from the main chromosomal DNA in a cell. It often carries genetic information that can confer advantages to the cell, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain compounds. Plasmids can be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
