Dear student,

We know all the living organisms have their genetic material stored
in form DNA (majorly) Bacterial cells have a small circular DNA in
addition to their chromosomal DNA This small circular DNA is known
as a plasmid Plasmid infers unique characteristics to the bacterial
cells when incorporated with chromosomal DNA
