Chapter 4, Problem 3CHI

Compare, Hypothesize, Invent

3. As we note in section 4.3, archaeal ribosomal proteins can be divided into three classes: (1) those with homologues in all three domains of life, (2) those unique to archaea, and (3) those with homologues in eukaryotic ribosomes. Predict a class of archaeal ribosomal proteins that would refute the argument made by some microbiologists that the term prokaryote should be abandoned.

Students have asked these similar questions
Microbiologists debate the use of biochemical similarities and cell features as a way of determining the taxonomic relationships among prokaryotes. Explain why some microbiologists believe these similarities and differences are a powerful taxonomic indica­tor, whereas others think they are not very useful for that purpose.
.Answer the following question briefly but concisely 1. What aspect of a cell's physical makeup increases gradually as it gets smaller? 2. How could Bacteria and Archaea's tiny size and haploid genome hasten their evolution? 3. How small a cell can get? Justify. 4. If a bacterial cell was enclosed in a capsule, could it do without a cell wall? Why, or why not? 5. Why can gram-negative sulfur-oxidizing chemolithotrophs store sulfur but gram-positive bacteria cannot?
