Maybe wait anther 24 hours and then reveal.
Meh, 1 in 3 shot,
Archaea? y'know, in retrospect i shouldn't have guessed the least likely one...
it affects the domains Archaea (as neil guessed) and Eukarya. The toxin's gene is very unusual as it is encoded by a bacteriophage (virus) instead of the bacteria itself.
Since Neil got one of the domains correct, he should go next.

First question I've ever asked on here :D

Question:
What is one virus in group VII on the Baltimore Classification of Viruses?

I don't recall any viruses on the list being group VII (HIV is group VI), but I do know the general family Hepadnaviridae is a family of group VII viruses.

Actually, there is one on the list;Hepatitis B, which is in the taxonomic family of Hepadnaviridae

1. Lynn Margulis
2. The mitochondria and chloroplast were originally free-living prokaryotes that became incorporated into eukaryotes.
3. Mitochondria and chloroplasts divide through binary fission, are the same size as bacteria, have their own different, circular DNA, ribosomes and two membranes. The two membranes have different chemical compositions, with the outer being similar to the eukaryotic plasma membrane and the inner being similar to bacterial membranes.
