Question

Sulfate-reducing bacteria are a ________ that are found in ________ environments.
A) monophyletic group / anoxic
B) polyphyletic group / oxic
C) morphologically distinct group / anoxic
D) morphologically distinct group / oxic

Accepted Answer

Sulfate-reducing bacteria are a monophyletic group, meaning they share a common ancestor and are phylogenetically related. They are typically found in anoxic (oxygen-depleted) environments, such as deep sediments, marine sediments, and anaerobic soils.
