Question 1

Viruses are not included in the taxonomic scheme proposed by Carl Woese because they lack
◦ genetic material.
◦ lipid membranes.
◦ ribosomal RNA.
◦ proteins.
◦ cytoplasm.

Question 2

Why have some microbiologists proposed using ribosomal RNA as the basis for defining bacterial species?
bacteria vary too little in their physical and biochemical traits.
◦ Ribosomal RNAs are highly conserved genetic sequences present in all prokaryotes.
the "interbreeding population" criterion does not apply to bacteria.
ribosomal RNA is the basis for domain assignment.
bacteria are not interbreeding populations, and ribosomal RNAs are highly conserved genes present in all prokaryotes.
