Question

THERE COULD BE ONE OR MORE ANSWER

Select all traits listed below that are shared between prokaryotic Archaea and eukaryotes, but NOT between Archaea and Bacteria.

	A.	The genomic DNA is surrounded by a membrane.
	B.	Flagella have a similar structure and locomotion mechanism.
	C.	Chromosomes are wrapped around histone proteins.
	D.	Similar enzymes and machinery are used to transcribe and translate RNA.
	E.	Cell membranes contain straight-chain fatty acids with ester linkages to glycerol.

Answer 1

The three domains of organisms classification by Carl Woese are Archaea, Eubacteria and Eukarya. The similarity between archaea and eukaryotes, but not archae and bacteria is that the chromosomes of both archaea and eukarya are wrapped around histone proteins and both of them require similar enzymes and machinery for transcription and translating RNA.

Hence, the correct options are (C) and (D).

About the incorrect options-

(A) The DNA is surrounded by membrane in eukarya but not archaea.

(B) Its not same.

(E) This provides the difference between archae and bacteria. The ester linkages are found in bacteria but not archaea.

Hope it helps, Good luck !!!
