The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Plasmids**: - Plasmids are small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecules found in cells. They are separate from the chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently. 2. **Location of Plasmids**: - Plasmids are primarily found in bacteria, but they can also be present in some eukaryotic organisms. 3. **Function of Plasmids**: - Plasmids often carry genes that provide bacteria with genetic advantages, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize unusual substances. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question regarding plasmids is that they are a genetic part in addition to the DNA in microorganisms. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is the fourth one: "the genetic part in addition to the DNA in the microorganism." ---
