Question

a plasmid is a chromosome from a bacterium. true false

Explanation:

A plasmid is a small, circular, double - stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a bacterium's chromosomal DNA. Bacterial chromosomes are larger and carry the essential genetic information for the bacterium's basic functions, while plasmids are extrachromosomal elements that can carry non - essential genes (like antibiotic resistance genes) and can replicate independently. So the statement "A plasmid is a chromosome from a bacterium" is incorrect.

Answer:

FALSE
