Multiple ChoiceAvery knows that scientists use physical similarities to classify organisms. She studies the figures of four different organisms. Which two organisms should Avery related?1 and 21 and 32 and 32 and 4
- 4. Multiple ChoiceScientists often use branching diagrams such as the phylogenic tree to show relationships among organisms. The phylogenic tree that follows is based on chemical characteristics of organisms, such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Based on the diagram, which of the following statements is true?The rRNA in Archaea and eukaryotes indicates that they have many physical similarities.The rRNA in eukaryotes is more similar to the rRNA in Archaea than it is to rRNA in Bacteria.The rRNA in bacteria indicates that Bacteria, Archaea, and eukaryotes do not have a common ancestor.The rRNA in animals, plants, and fungi differs more than it does among other groups on the Eukarya branch.

- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhat is a major physical characteristic that differs between members of Domains Archaea and Bacteria and members of Domain Eukarya?Members of Domain Eukarya are less complex than the members of Domains Archaea and Bacteria.Members of Domains Archaea and Bacteria are multicellular, and members of Domain Eukarya are usually single-celled organisms.Members of Domain Eukarya have cells with membrane-bound organelles, and members of Domains Archaea and Bacteria lack nuclei.Members of Domains Bacteria and Archaea have structures for making their own food, and members of Domain Eukarya lack these structures.
