- Which of the following statements is correct? Please select all that apply. Select one or more: a. Parasitism between bacteria and archaea caused complex interactions that eventually gave rise to eukarya. b. While bacteria are prokaryotes, archaea are neither prokaryotic, nor eukaryotic but classified as a 3rd cell type. c. Prokaryotes are classified further based on whether they are unicellular or multicellular organisms. d. The molecular biologies of archaea and eukarya show a greater proportion of similarities than those of eukarya and bacteria. e. Prokaryotes could not make photosynthesis until chloroplast endosymbiosis evolution. f. The last universal common ancestor most likely had a primitive prokaryotic cell organization. g. Endosymbiosis of chloroplast precedes that of mitochondria.arrow_forwardAnalyses of genomes have allowed researchers to determine that some cells have very small genomes. If you were asked to predict which organisms are likely to have smaller genomes than others, which option below would be MOST likely? A. Bacteria that live in plant hosts are likely to have smaller genomes than those that live in animal hosts as it takes a smaller variety of metabolic processes to survive in an animal host. B. Although less is known about Archaea than about Bacteria as fewer species have been studied, it is likely that Archaea have smaller genomes on average than Bacteria as they have fewer metabolic needs. C. Bacteria that are endosymbionts, living within a host, can survive with smaller genomes than free-living Bacteria because they can rely on their host for many of their needs. D. Protists generally have had smaller genomes than Bacteria because Bacteria have such large amounts of noncoding DNA.arrow_forwardArchaea are most closely related to which of the following major groups on the tree of life? a.
