Which of the following is NOT used in defining a microbial species?
A) DNA:DNA similarity as determined by hybridization
B) SSU RNA sequence similarity
C) Similar cell shape as seen under the microscope
D) Phylogenetic reconstructions
Homework Answers
Question
The SSU RNA sequence similarity is highly use in defining a microbial species. Other methods include DNA-DNA hybridization and phylogenetic reconstruction(based on evolutionary relationship). But cell shape is not used for microbial species classification. Hence, option C is incorrect.

24. Which of the following species concepts is defined by populations of interbreeding individuals that are reproductively isolated from other populations? A. phylogenetic B. ecological C. biological D. morphologicalOn the Bahamian Island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim in short, fast bursts. Other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim continuously for a...

Which of the following is a weakness of the biological species concept? Group of answer choices Experts can disagree about whether populations are similar enough to be the same species. It isn’t applicable to asexual, fossil, or geographically isolated species It requires phylogenetic trees, which haven’t been estimated yet for many lineages. It was the first rigorous species concept published.
