Question

Which of the following represents a major challenge for accurately defining the phylogeny of Archaea? Choose one: A. Current methods are largely ineffective for extracting DNA from archaea. B. They lack the 16S rRNA genes that are traditionally used for such analyses. C. Most archaea require specialized anaerobic chambers for laboratory culture. D. Too few archaeal taxa have been described to generate precise phylogenetic trees. E. Many archaeal genomes show evidence of extensive horizontal gene transfer.
