E) Pre-existing cells present in the air can grow in sterilized nutrient broth
Answer: E
Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge/Comprehension

wall but lacked a nucleus. What is its most likely classification?

12) You have isolated and purified a new species of cells from the rain forest and you want to
place this new species in the appropriate branch of the tree of life. You sequence the ribosomal
RNA genes from these cells and discover that for one particular region of the ribosomal gene
(the rRNA) the RNA sequence is AAUGAAGG.
You have sequences from the same region of the ribosomal genes (the rRNA) from each of these
species: bacteria, eukaryote and archaea, which are listed below.
bacteria AUAGAUGG
eukaryote AAAGAAGG
archaea AAUGGAGU
Based on these sequence results to which branch of the tree of life should you assign this new
species?
A) archaea
B) bacteria
C) eukaryote
D) bacteria and archaea
E) there is not enough information
Answer: C
