These are small circular DNA molecules which can integrate with host chromosomal DNA

These are small circular DNA molecules with their own replication origin site

These can shuttle between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

These often carry antibiotic resistance genes

can be multiplied in a laboratory using enzyme

Self replicate in bacterial cells

Replicate freely outside bacterial cells

Can be multiplied in culture

Can be multiplied in laboratories using enzymes

Self replicate in bacterial cells
