Question

Which one of the following statements is TRUE regarding archaea? Archaea are similar to Eukaryotic cells in that they have introns in their DNA. Archaea are similar to Eukaryotes in that they are multicellular organisms. Archaea are similar to Eukaryotes in that both are found in hostile environments. Archaea are similar to Eukaryotes in that they both have membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.

Answer 1

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Three domains of life are eukarya, bacteria and archaea. Archaea are more closely related to eukarya than prokarya. Archaea and bacteria lacks well defined nuclear envelope.

Archaea share most of their characteristics with the eukarya. They have introns in their DNA sequences as similar to the eukaryotes. These introns shows the evolutionary relationship between the eukaryotes and the archaea. Apart from introns they also show similar characteristics like histone proteins.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
