Chapter 25.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the resemblance of eukaryotes with prokaryotic archaea in some features and bacteria in others.
Introduction:
From many experimental pieces of evidence, it was proved that the eukaryotes share some similar characters with the prokaryotes. The similarities result from the evolutionary contribution of the bacteria and archaea in the formation of eukaryotes. The evolutionary contributions of prokaryotes make some features of the eukaryotes like bacteria and some like archaea.
The table below shows the differences between the prokaryotes and eukaryotes:

Why were Archaea originally thought to be simply unusual forms of Bacteria? What lines of evidence showed this domain to form a distinct branch on the tree of life?
Which of the following statements is correct for archaea?(a) Archaea resemble eukaryotes in all respects.(b) Archaea have some novel features that are absent inother prokaryotes and eukaryotes.(c) Archaea completely differ from both prokaryotes andeukaryotes.(d) Archaea completely differ from prokaryotes
Please try to break the solutions into as many steps as practically possible and the steps should come one by one and they should be short and crisp and plagiarism-free.
Some prokaryotes, especially archaea, are capable of living in extreme environments, such as deep-sea vents, where temperatures can reach 80°C (176°F). Few organisms can survive at this temperature. What adaptations might archaea possess that allow them to survive in such extreme heat?
