Plasmids are used for carrying out the cloning procedure. Which of the statement is true for plasmids?

A. Bacterial plasmids are linear in nature

B. They are single-stranded

C. Insertion of DNA into plasmid allows it to be propagated in host cells and they are known as vectors because of their this property

D. They are not capable of replication in bacteria

Explanation: Plasmids are double-stranded and they are circular in nature. They are capable of replication in bacteria. Insertion of DNA into plasmid allows it to be propagated in host cells and the molecules which are used for propagation by this method are called as vectors.
