Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why are bacteria and archaea are similar in appearance, as they are only distantly related.
Introduction:
Evolution is biological process which involves the change in heritable characteristics of organisms in a population with generation. It occurs due to mutation, environmental forces, adaptations, natural selection, or hybridization.
