Answer:

Plasmids refer to a small molecule of DNA found within a cell that physically gets distinguished from a chromosomal DNA and possesses the tendency to replicate autonomously. The plasmids are generally found in bacterial cells in the form of small circular, double-stranded DNA. The plasmids are used commonly by scientists as the tools to manipulate and clone genes. The plasmids, which are used for these specific objectives are known as vectors.  

The administration of the desired gene from one species to another has become possible with the help of plasmids. Thus, plasmids help in performing genetic modification. The procedure by which genetic makeup of a species is changed is called genetic engineering or genetic modification.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. <span>Plasmids can be used to incorporate a desired gene into something else which is lacking the gene. An example would be that you could take a plasmid from a bacteria which is resistant to an antibiotic and put it into a bacteria which is not resistant to the antibiotic. Therefore, the insertion of the plasmid would make the susceptible bacteria resistant.</span>

elena-s [515]

All the statement above are very true of what virus structure constitute.

This goes to say that viruses:

  • use DNA as their genetic material.
  • have a phospholipid bilayer envelope.
  • lack organelles, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane.
  • have a capsid.
  • require a host for replication.

<h3>What are viruses?</h3>

Viruses are seen and considered as the border line between living and non living things.

  • Viruses are living when they are inside another living organism. They are the smallest known microorganisms.
  • However, they are non-living when they are outside the system of a living thing
