Answer:

plasmid

They are used in genetic engineering as vectors for replication of foreign DNA or proteins using bacteria as a host organism. The DNA strand is integrated into the plasmid DNA to form a recombinant plasmid that is then transformed into the host.

Plasmids are ideal vectors because of the following characteristics:

  • High copy number per cell
  • Multiple cloning sites

  • Have antibiotic resistance gene

There are also diffrent types of plasmids:

  • Degradative
  • Virulence
  • Resistance
