Two statements — Statement I: Plasmids are autonomously replicating DNA. Statement II: Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA. Choose the most appropriate answer:
- A.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct✓
- B.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- D.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct Answer
(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
