Answer:

C) Most likely an archaeon

Explanation:

Because this new microorganism has a rigid cell wall but lacks of peptidoglycan it is very likely that this is not a bacterium; bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan.  

This new microorganism cannot be an eukaryote either because all eukaryotes have a nucleus in their cells.

It is possible that the new microorganism is an archeon (belongs to the Archea domain) because organisms within Archea have cell walls assembled from surface-layer proteins. Also, Archaea and bacteria are generally similar in size and shape including  2 μm microorganism and coccoid shapes.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

Analogous structures are similar structures that evolved independently in two living organisms to serve the same purpose.

Homologous structures are organs or skeletal elements of animals and organisms that, by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor. These structures do not have to look exactly the same, or have the same function

Vestigial structures no longer carry out any function.
