That is not correct. Archaea (methanogens and extremeophiles) have DNA with histones.

Bacteria are the prokaryotes without histone.

this is correct...
however, we dont really need to know the details people just stick to the big picture. they wont ask you a question saying: does archaea have histones? or which prokaryotes have histones?

HAHA are you sure about that? There are some pretty detailed questions on Destroyer..... :D

They can add this detail one as answer choice to confuse students!:D

Ok, so archea with histone bacteria with histone got it.

I hope you meant bacteria withOUT histone lol

haha wow you learn something new every day. You have to go to the Journal of Bacteriology to find evidence of that.

I certainly hope that they don't expect us to know that

From what I here aren't there a couple of finely detailed questions on every test. For example someone had a question asking what would happen if you insert a 2nd notochord into a growing frog embryo.

People say just stick to the basics, others say its no joke when people say the DAT is super detailed

yeah... theyll always have a couple of freaky ones and that how it always is... they dont want people getting perfect score.. that way it would be a called an "Easy" test... they wont want that.

majority is general ideas

you definitely need to understand difference between archae & prokarya. This is not a detailed question....

I agree. The differences between archae and bacteria are important to know.

I agree that we should know the difference between archae and bacteria, but the only sources I am finding on the internet that discuss archae histones are scientific journals.

Just my personal opinion, but I don't think they expect us to know things in the scientific literature that are rarely mentioned in undergraduate classes or textbooks. In fact, I'd bet that a lot of the general rules we learn in undergrad would actually have to be modified if we read through the literature on it.

It is actually in the Cliffs Bio AP book, so I dont think its too specific either. If its in an AP Bio book, you better know. Just my opinion.....

lol you dont have to read literatures. histones, peptidoglycan, cell wall etc all these are discussed in every bio textbook. Its in cliffs & schaums as well.
