Question
Chapter 26, Problem 16PIAT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The evidences or features, which might be used to ascertain whether the tree of life is in accordance with the three-domain system of classification of the organisms.
Introduction:
The three-domain classification have three categories namely bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. All the microorganisms are under these three categories. Organisms can be classified into one of three domains based on DNA sequences, ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), and the cell membrane.

Describe how genomics and proteomics can help determine evolutionary relationships between species. Use the biology theme of emergent properties to make connections between atoms, molecules, cells, and life.
Contrast the reductionist approach with systems biology. How are the two approaches complementary? Which approach is more likely to consider emergent properties?
Describe the hierarchical organization of life. How does this organiza-tion lead to the emergence of new properties at different levels of bio-logical complexity?
