- both bacteria and archaea
- neither bacteria nor archaea
- have peptidoglycan in the cell wall
- are methanogens
- are sometimes
parasitic - contain a nucleus
- have lipids in the plasma membrane
- reproduce by binary fission

Choose the right answer:
a. A nucleus with a virus cell
b. A group of spine animals.
c. Cells with a nucleus.
