Answer:

Molecular evidence

Explanation:

Earlier archaea were considered as bacteria because they show some similarities with bacteria like binary fission as mode of reproduction, lack of a nucleus, etc.

Later Carl Woese separated bacteria in a different domain and divide prokaryote into two domains called bacteria and archaea. He separated archaea from bacteria on molecules evidence.

He compaired rRNA sequence between bacteria and archaea and observed that they both differ in rRNA sequence which allowed him to make a separate domain for archaea.

Why don’t prokaryotic cells divide through mitosis?

valina [46]

Answer:

Prokaryotes such as bacteria propagate by binary fission. ... In bacterial cells, the genome consists of a single, circular DNA chromosome; therefore, the process of cell division is simplified. Mitosis is unnecessary because there is no nucleus or multiple chromosomes. This type of cell division is called binary fission.

Explain why an organism cannot choose to have a mutation that would enable it to live more successfully in its environment.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An organism can't chose to have a mutation because it depends on the way they are born. If they are missing some type of mineral, (Protein, Vitamin, etc.) they will have a mutation because they're missing that. Well, something similar to a mutation is natural selection and genes. For example, there are some short and tall giraffes. The tall ones can reach the tree and the short ones can't so they die and the tall ones can reproduce and their offspring will inherit that trait
