Question

Plasmids are found in
A. Bacteria
B. Viruses
C. Algae
D. Fungi

Answer 1

Hint: A plasmid is a small, extra-chromosomal DNA molecule. In bacteria, they are frequently looking like tiny circular double-stranded DNA molecules. Plasmids are circular structures. Linear plasmids are also well known. Plasmids may be present in an individual cell in numbers ranging from one to several hundreds. Plasmids have greater advantages.

Complete answer:
Option A) Bacteria- - Bacteria are the only members of the kingdom Monera. They are the most abundant microorganisms. Bacteria occur almost everywhere. It is the most easily found organism on earth. Widely used in various experiments as it has a faster or rapid growth and replication rate.
Option A is correct.
Option B) Viruses- viruses are acellular organisms with a high infection rate. They have a capsule which is a protein coated cover which is highly infectious. If the protein cover has spikes on it, we can call it spike protein. Viruses cause the flu, cough, and cold in various animals including human beings. Viruses are non-cellular organisms.
So, option B is not correct.
Option C) Algae- algae are green in color. Algae are used as food in various parts of the world. It belongs to the plant kingdom. Lichens are the association of algae and fungi.
Option C is not correct.
Option D) Fungi- fungi are commonly the yeast used products growing in warm, mushy places or regions. The kind fungi are being used as a source of food are mushrooms. Lichens are the association of algae and fungi.
Option D is not correct.

Hence, Option A) is the correct answer.

Note:
As we already know the advantages and disadvantages of plasmid. Bacteria are classified on the basis of morphology that is on the basis of their shape. The spherical is called coccus, rod shaped bacilli, spiral spirillum. Plasmids are found in the bacterial body and they provide resistance to them to some antibiotics etc. Plasmid lies in other eukaryotic organisms too. It is a great tool in recombinant DNA technology. Used in various experiments as it has the resistance power against any diseases.
