Carl Woese and collaborators identified two major branches of prokaryotic evolution. What was the basis for dividing prokaryotes into two domains? - Microscopic examination of staining characteristics of the cell wall. - Metabolic characteristics such as the production of methane gas. - Metabolic characteristics such as chemoautotrophy and photosynthesis. - Genetic characteristics such as ribosomal RNA sequences. - Ecological characteristics such as the ability to survive in extreme environments.

1. You are studying a newly discovered prokaryotic microorganism and are attempting to determine whether it will be classified in the domain Bacteria or in the domain Archaea. All of the following would be helpful in making that distinction except ________. a. presence or absence of peptidoglycan in cell walls b. type of membrane lipids c. sequence of small subunit ribosomal RNA d. presence or absence of S-layer
