Questions:

1. Summarize the differences and similarities between Bacteria and Archaea that are highlighted in the textbook at the beginning of chapter 26.

2. Wow! Bacteria have another way to increase genetic diversity outside of mutation! The textbook does not very good job of underscoring how this new source of variation acts in a similar fashion to mutation -- adding new variants that natural selection can act upon. This new source of variation is gene transfer. Summarize how bacteria accomplish gene transfer - what are the different mechanisms?
