Plasmids




This video describes the function of plasmids. It uses diagrams and pictures to explain what plasmids do in a cell. It talks about how bacteria provide genetic engineers with restriction enzymes and plasmids. Then it talks about plasmids and restriction enzymes in further detail. Plasmids are tiny rings of DNA. Plasmids are independent and self-replicating. They allow for DNA recombination. This video is very informative regarding plasmids and bacteria. I would suggest you watch this video if you are having trouble grasping this concept.
