Which of the following lists correctly names the three domains in the modern classification system?
A
Plantae, Animalia, Fungi
B
Prokarya, Eukarya, Protista
C
Monera, Protista, Fungi
D
Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the modern classification system organizes all life into three domains based on genetic and cellular differences.
Recall that the three domains are: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. These domains are determined by differences in ribosomal RNA sequences and cell structure.
Note that Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic domains, meaning their cells lack a nucleus, while Eukarya includes all eukaryotic organisms, which have cells with a nucleus.
Eliminate incorrect options: 'Plantae, Animalia, Fungi' and 'Monera, Protista, Fungi' are outdated classifications that refer to kingdoms, not domains. 'Prokarya, Eukarya, Protista' is also incorrect because 'Prokarya' is not a valid domain name, and 'Protista' is a kingdom within Eukarya.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya,' as these are the three domains in the modern classification system.
