A team of biologists is trying to determine the identity of a new organism. All characteristics have not been fully investigated, but, based on the data available, the species has the following four characteristics.
Presence of some unbranched hydrocarbons.
Presence of introns in the few genes that have been analyzed.
Methionine present and used as initiator for protein synthesis.
Absence of peptidoglycan in outer portions of the cell wall.
1. Based on these characteristics, what domain might the organism belong to?
a. Eucarya
b. Eubacteria or Eucarya
c. Archaebacteria
d. Archaebacteria or Eucarya
e. Eubacteria
2. What additional characteristic would be most useful in order to confirm or refine your identification?
a. Whether the organism is pathogenic.
b. Presence of formylmethionine.
c. Number of RNA polymerases present.
d. Whether growth is inhibited by streptomycin.
e. Presence of a nuclear membrane.
Thank all you folks for helping me out. I will grant the best answer 5 stars. THANKS!
