Answer:
C. A small, circular piece of DNA
Explanation:
A plasmid, usually circular but sometimes linear, is a small double-stranded DNA unit, which is chromosome independent and is capable of self-replication. Each plasmid carries only a few genes. Carrying only a few genes, the plasmid’s size ranges from 1 to more than 1000 kbp. Genes required for organism survival and those that are generally beneficial to the host organism, such as antibiotic resistance, are often found in plasmids [1].
Mostly plasmids can be found in bacteria, but they are also present in multicellular organisms and archaea. Plasmids usually contain at least one gene and are not considered independent life forms even though they possess separate genes from their hosts
B because that would be the equal choice
The best way to assess the client's nutritional status and changes related to the mental health status is to ask questions first from the person who brought the patient if he or she knows the patient, if not that would be from the significant others may it be the parents or the spouse as they know the client. This can be done by calling them if they are not around. In addition, for nutritional status, one can perform a BMI by checking weight and height to know the status of the patient and also doing some laboratory tests.
