Question

Maximum number of bases in plasmids discovered so far

• A. 50 kilo base
• B. 500 kilo base
• C. 5000 kilo base
• D. 5 kilo base

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

500 kilo base

Answer 2

Plasmids can vary in size, but the maximum number of bases in plasmids discovered so far can exceed 500 kilobases (kb) and can even reach into the megabase (Mb) range for some exceptionally large plasmids. However, it's important to note that plasmids can be smaller or larger depending on the specific plasmid and its role in carrying genetic information in various organisms. So, the closest option is (B): 500 kilobases (kb)
