During Replication......
a: The plasmid ~
b: a micro-chromosome
What: "All the plasmids in a cell are bunched up, and like chromosomes this cluster duplicates during S phase. The clusters then appear to sidle up to a chromosome and go their separate ways as the sister chromatids part and the cell divides. In this way, the plasmid is "like a micro-chromosome or even a chromosome appendage,"
