A replicon is a genetic element, such as a chromosome, plasmid, or virus, that behaves as an autonomous unit of DNA replication in a cell.

The plasmid acts as a replicon, allowing it to replicate independently within the bacterial cell.

A stretch of DNA (or RNA in some viruses) that is replicated from a single origin of replication during one round of cell division.

In eukaryotic cells, each replicon covers tens of kilobases of DNA replicated from one origin.
