Chapter 17.6, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Archaea is a single celled microorganism which has no cell nucleus. They are cosmopolitan in distribution. Archae are important in ecological role of carbon and nitrogen cycle. They exhibit asexual type of reproduction by binary fission, budding and fragmentation.
