[DIYbio] Re: Plasmids as a vector

The chromosomal DNA contains all the essential information (all enzymes how to degrade sugar, proteins and fat and build up new - and when to do this) and is pretty big, like the hard drive of your computer. A plasmid is very small, often contianing only a handful of genes that may be beneficial (antibiotic resistance), Plasmids are easily mobilizeable between species and in this comparison are USB drives.
