HI, could someone please help? I'm having a hard time explaining why ribosomal RNA sequence is a good choice for comparison between microorganisms?

Thanks a bunch,

JD

Well everything has ribosomes, so it's a common feature that can be used to compare organisms.

 

Ribosomes don't change that much over time, so the differences between species that have been seperated for long periods of time are more clear.
