Question

Select all that apply.

which characteristics do archaea and bacteria have in common?
-both can live in extreme environments
-both are prokaryotes
-both reproduce mostly by binary fission
-both are relatively young organisms

Answer 1

both are prokaryotes

Answer 2

Option A, B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the archaea and bacteria belong to family of species (prokaryotes) which are unicellular and with simple body structure. Thus option B is correct

Both the archaea and bacteria are able to live in any environmental condition and hence they would be able to live in extreme environment also. Thus option A is correct

Since these two species of organisms are unicellular they mainly reproduce by forming spores through binary fission. Hence, Option C is also correct.

Both the archaea and bacteria are the oldest form of species on planet earth and hence Option D, is incorrect.
