Solution
| Sr. no. | Plasmid DNA | Chromosomal DNA |
| 1. | Plasmids are circular external DNA that is self-replicating and are naturally found in bacteria and yeast. | Chromosomal DNA sequence, including recognition site, is present in the chromosomes of all organisms. |
| 2. | It is not necessary for normal growth and division. | This is necessary for growth and division. |
| 3. | It contains information about some properties of the cell. | It contains information about all the properties. |
