Plasmid is a small circular Double stranded DNA. All of which stated above the question are properties of it.
- they are composed of linear, double stranded DNA.
- they contain their own origin of replication.
- they typically become integrated into the host genome.
- they can lead to horizontal gene transfer via conjugation. Usually bacteria are very capable of transfer by conjugation.
- different types of plasmids have variable copy number. there are low copy and high copy types of plasmids.
- they contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. There are studies that shows regarding to this matter.
