Please sir tell me

I. The cell wall does not contain peptidoglycan.
II. DNA associated with histones.
III. Translation initiated with formylated methionine.
IV. RNA polymerase similar to eukaryotic RNA polymerase II
V. ATPase similarity
VI. Similar DNA replication and repair

How many of the above characters Archaebacteria share with eukaryotes?
(1) 3
(2) 4
(3) 5
(4) 6

Dear Student,

1. Archaebacteria do possess cell wall. Their cell wall is not composed of peptidoglycan, unlike bacteria. Their cell wall is formed by a proteinaceous surface (S‐) layer. - True.
Eukaryotic cell wall is made of consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins (Plants), Chitin (Fungi).

2. Yes, recent research shows that Archaebacteria also possess histone proteins. - True

3.  Formylated methionine is a characteristic feature of bacteria. While eukaryotes and archeabacteria do not use fMet, during protein synthesis. - False

4. Though Archae possess only single RNA Pol (RNAP) enzyme, but it is similar to that of Eukaryotic RNA Pol II. Statement is true as RNAP resembles RNA Pol II.

5. ATPase is also similar to eukaryotic system. - True

6. The statement is true as they both share some similarities.. True

Therefore, the correct option is '3' - They share 5 features common to eukaryotes .
