Question

Reason
Archaean genome is more similar to eukaryotic genome rather than bacterial genome.
Assertion
Archaebacteria are more similar to eukaryotes rather than eubacteria.
Archaebacteria are more similar to eukaryotes rather than eubacteria.

Answer 1

Correct option is A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Archaebacteria are single-celled organisms that tend to live in extreme environments, like hot springs or in high-salt regions. They have been called extremophiles, which means lover of extremes. Archaebacteria are contrasted with the Eubacteria, from which they differ biochemically in the arrangement of the bases in their ribosomal RNA and in the composition of their plasma membranes and cell walls. Archaean genome is more similar to eukaryotic genome rather than the bacterial genome. Thus archaebacteria are more similar to eukaryotes rather than eubacteria.
