Answer:

The common characteristics of Archaebacteria known to date are these:

(1) the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs.

(2) the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls, with in many cases, replacement by a largely proteinaceous coat.

(3) the occurrence of ether linked lipids built from phytanyl chains.
