Difference between Gene and Plasmid

Gene vs. Plasmid

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. A plasmid is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently.

Similarities between Gene and Plasmid

Gene and Plasmid have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antimicrobial resistance, Archaea, Bacteria, Base pair, Cell (biology), Cell division, Chromosome, Copy-number variation, DNA, DNA supercoil, Escherichia coli, Eukaryote, Gene expression, Gene therapy, Genome, Horizontal gene transfer, Life, Molecular cloning, Origin of replication, Plasmid, Protein, Virus.

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR or AR) is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe.

Base pair

A base pair (bp) is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell division

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.

Chromosome

A chromosome (from Ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism.

Copy-number variation

Copy number variation (CNV) is a phenomenon in which sections of the genome are repeated and the number of repeats in the genome varies between individuals in the human population.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA supercoil

DNA supercoiling refers to the over- or under-winding of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on that strand.

Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli (also known as E. coli) is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms).

Eukaryote

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike Prokaryotes (Bacteria and other Archaea).

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Gene therapy

In the medicine field, gene therapy (also called human gene transfer) is the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acid into a patient's cells as a drug to treat disease.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Horizontal gene transfer

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring.

Life

Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that do have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate.

Molecular cloning

Molecular cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.

Origin of replication

The origin of replication (also called the replication origin) is a particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated.

Gene and Plasmid Comparison

Gene has 300 relations, while Plasmid has 106. As they have in common 22, the Jaccard index is 5.42% = 22 / (300 + 106).
