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.
