Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 3AL
Compare, Hypothesize, Invent
3. As we note in section 4.3, archaeal ribosomal proteins can be divided into three classes: (1) those with homologues in all three domains of life, (2) those unique to archaea, and (3) those with homologues in eukaryotic ribosomes. Predict a class of archaeal ribosomal proteins that would refute the argument made by some microbiologists that the term prokaryote should be abandoned.

This flowchart helps distinguish among organisms by asking questions that have one of two possible answers. As a result, this flowchart can also be called a dichotomous key (from Greek dikho- 'in two' + temnein 'to cut').
