Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that the domains of life are the highest taxonomic rank in the biological classification system.
Recall that there are three domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Recognize that Animalia, Plantae, and Fungi are kingdoms within the domain Eukarya, not domains themselves.
Note that Monera is an outdated term that was used to describe prokaryotic organisms, which are now classified under Bacteria and Archaea.
Identify that Prokaryota and Eukaryota are not domains; Prokaryota refers to organisms without a nucleus (Bacteria and Archaea), while Eukaryota refers to organisms with a nucleus (Eukarya).
