Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmids are typically circular, double-stranded DNA molecules that are distinct from the chromosomal DNA. They are found in bacteria, archaea, and some eukaryotes, and they can exist in a supercoiled state. However, stating that plasmids are "not supercoiled" is incorrect because plasmids can indeed be supercoiled, which is a common state for DNA molecules outside of their replication process, helping in compacting the DNA and affecting its interactions with other molecules.
