Plásmido: forma no celular de vida, fragmento circular de ADN bicatenario que contiene unos cuantos genes y se encuentra en el interior de ciertas bacterias. Actúa y se replica de forma independiente al ADN bacteriano y puede pasar de una bacteria a otra. Igual que los provirus no produce enfermedades pero induce pequeñas mutaciones en las células. Se utiliza como vector en manipulación genética. 4, record 1, Spanish, - pl%C3%A1smido
