Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmids are small circular fragments of DNA that can replicate independently of the host chromosome. They are commonly used in molecular biology research as vectors for gene cloning and expression.

Answer: C
 Plasmids contain an origin of replication, a specific sequence of DNA that marks where replication begins. This allows the plasmid to replicate independently of the host chromosome.

Answer: E
 Endonucleases are enzymes that can recognize and cut specific DNA sequences. Some endonucleases, such as EcoRI, are isolated from bacteria and are commonly used in molecular biology research.

The other options are not accurate descriptions of plasmids.
