Chapter 18.3, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The genome is the complete set of genetic materials present in a cell or an organism. Genome of many bacterial and archaeal species have been sequenced up to date. The length of bacterial and archaeal chromosomes is about few millions base pairs long and are usually circular. But linear chromosomes are also found in some species. bacterial and archaeal genomes are less complex compared to eukaryotic genome.

In his experiments using bacteria and mice, Griffith discovered that:
heat-killed bacteria can kill mice
non-pathogenic bacteria can never be made to cause disease
some substance from pathogenic cells could be transferred to non-pathogenic cells, making them pathogenic
the capsule from pathogenic bacteria could transform non-pathogenic bacteria
E O O O O
Do bacteria and archaea have more or less diversity than eukaryotic organisms? Choose the best reason why or why not.
Group of answer choices
Bacteria and archaea are LESS diverse. One reason is that they cannot become resistant to antibiotics.
Bacteria and archaea are MORE diverse. One reason is that they transfer genes asexually through horizontal gene transfer.
Bacteria and archaea are MORE diverse. One reason is that they can become resistant to antibiotics.
