Plasmid DNA is naked double-stranded DNA that forms a circle with no free ends. It is associated with few proteins. It is smaller than the host chromosome and can be easily separated.
Chromosomal DNA is a double-stranded linear DNA molecule associated with large proteins. This DNA exists in relaxed and supercoiled forms and provides a template for replication and transcription. It has free ends.
