to studying the
phylogenetic relationships between bacteria?
O
The genomes of bacteria are too small to
O
O
study easily with phylogenetics.
Lateral gene transfer makes distantly related
bacteria look closely related
The phylogenies are mismatched due to
conjugation if only one gene is studied
"Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, so
inheritance and evolution are different than
eukaryotes."
