plasmid

As nouns the difference between plasmid and vector

is that plasmid is (cytology) a loop of double-stranded dna that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria]], but also in archaeans and [[eukaryote|eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while vector is (mathematics) a directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points.

As a verb vector is

to set (particularly an aircraft) on a course toward a selected point.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and plasma

is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while plasma is a state of matter consisting of partially ionized gas.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and mesosome

is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while mesosome is a folded invagination in the plasma membrane of bacteria, produced by the chemical fixation techniques used to prepare samples for electron microscopy, but previously thought to be part of the normal structure of the cell.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and mesosomes

is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while mesosomes is plural of mesosome.

As nouns the difference between elasmid and plasmid

is that elasmid is (zoology) any member of the elasmidae while plasmid is (cytology) a loop of double-stranded dna that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria]], but also in archaeans and [[eukaryote|eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and plasmoid

is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while plasmoid is a region of plasma held relatively stable within a magnetic field.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and plasmin

is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme that dissolves the fibrin in blood clots.

As nouns the difference between plamid and plasmid

is that plamid is while plasmid is (cytology) a loop of double-stranded dna that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria]], but also in archaeans and [[eukaryote|eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer.

As nouns the difference between plastid and plasmid

is that plastid is any of various organelles found in the cells of plants and algae, often concerned with photosynthesis while plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer.
