Question

Plasmids are self replicating, extrachromosomal segments of single strand.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Plasmids are the extrachromosomal DNA is bacterial cell because they are not linked with the main chromosomal DNA. They are double-stranded and circular in structure. They have their own origin of replication which is a segment on DNA that begins the replication. So, they are self-replicating DNA molecules. They are capable of making their own copies. Due to this property plasmids have been used as vectors in biotechnological processes.

Hence, the correct answer is 'True'
