Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The features of unicellularity, varying branched lipids in their cell membrane, lack of nuclear envelope and presence of some introns are all characteristics of the Domain Archaea. Multicellularity is not a feature of this domain. The type of lipids in their cell membrane is important in distinguishing Archaea from Bacteria and Eukarya.
