Plasmid is a small circular Double stranded DNA. All of which stated above the question are properties of it.

- they are composed of linear, double stranded DNA.

- they contain their own origin of replication.

- they typically become integrated into the host genome.

- they can lead to horizontal gene transfer via conjugation. Usually bacteria are very capable of transfer by conjugation.

- different types of plasmids have variable copy number. there are low copy and high copy types of plasmids.

- they contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. There are studies that shows regarding to this matter.
