The basis for dividing the prokaryotes into two domains is:

a. differences in the ability to survive in extreme conditions.
b. differences in metabolic properties.
c. none of the choices
d. differences in genome sequences.

Option D

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two dormain because of differences in genetic make up. They are divided into Bacteria and Archaebacteria.

This is because there are differences in their genetic makeup, they do not have the same materials in their cellular cell wall. Bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell wall but Archaebacteria don't have.

the most logical answer would be a
