Question

Which molecules are distinctively different in bacteria and archaea? . . A. fatty acids. B. transfer DNA. C. RNA polymerases. D. transcription DNA

Answer 1

The correct answer among the choices listed above is option C. The molecules that are distinctively different in bacteria and archaea are the RNA polymerases. The Rna of a bacteria is unique and distinct from the RNA of the Archaea.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. RNA polymerases.

Explanation:

Bacteria has a primitive type of RNA polymerase while archaeal RNA ploymerase is more advanced and complex than that of bacterial. The structure of  archaeal RNA ploymerase has more resemblance with RNA polymerase II of eukaryotes. The RNA polymerase of bacteria requires sigma factor for transcription initiation whereas the RNA ploymerase of archaea requires transcription factors for transcription initiation just like eukaryotes.
