Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a single RNA polymerase activity, no organelles, and a standard plasma membrane structure suggest that the microbe belongs to the Bacteria domain. Bacteria typically have a peptidoglycan cell wall, distinguishing them from Archaea (which may have histones similar to eukaryotes but do not have peptidoglycan) and Eukarya (which have organelles and a nuclear membrane).
