A minimalist schematic depicts a circular double-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule representing a plasmid. In biological hierarchy, the plasmid is an extrachromosomal genetic element within the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell. In microbiology and molecular genetics, plasmids function as autonomous replicons that can confer traits and enable horizontal gene transfer, and serve as cloning vectors in biotechnology. The illustrated entity is a molecule rather than a cellular structure, shown as a closed circular ring without internal landmarks.
