Manufacturing recombinant DNA molecules involves cutting a gene from its normal location, inserting it into a circular piece of DNA from a bacterial cell, and then transferring the circle of DNA to cells of another species. Which of the below describes the circular piece of DNA from a bacterial cella) restriction enzyme
b) plasmid
c) bacteriophage
d) vector

A plasmid is an extrachromosomal DNA molecule that found in a cell that replicates independently without the need for chromosomes. A plasmid is small and is also not attached to the chromosomal DNA. Generally, plasmids are a circular piece of double stranded DNA materials that are present in bacteria.

Plasmids are used in a molecular biology laboratory for gene manipulation. they are able to transfer genes to a DNA through DNA recombinant technology and also aid DNA replication in bacteria. Plasmids are also used to study antibiotic resistance.
