Question

which molecules are distinctively different in bacteria and archaea? (2 points) rna polymerases fatty acids transcription dna transfer dna

Answer 1

Answer is RNA polymerases.

• Bacteria and archaea are microorganisms that do not have nucleus in their cell structure.
• They have some genetic differences in them
• Bacteria has only one ribosomal RNA, whereas Archaea has three ribosomal RNAs
• Bacteria has a simple RNA polymerase with three sub-units, whereas Archaea has a complex RNA polymerase with ten sub-units.
  

Answer 2

Molecules which are distinctively different in bacteria and archaea are known as RNA polymerases.

These are enzymes which are important to life and are found in many species and viruses.

Their main function is to control the process of gene transcription.

It was independently discovered by three people namely Audrey Stevens, Charles Loe, and Jerard Hurwitz.
