The Three Domain Classification Scheme Uses

Question

The three domain classification scheme uses
A)order, phylum, class.
B)plants, animals, bacteria.
C)protista, prokaryotae, fungaea.
D)Archaea, Bacteria, Eucarya.

Accepted Answer

The three domain classification scheme divides all living organisms into three groups: Archaea (ancient bacteria), Bacteria (true bacteria), and Eucarya (organisms with true nuclei, including protists, fungi, plants, and animals). This classification is based on molecular and biochemical differences among these groups, and is widely accepted by biologists as the most accurate and informative system for organizing the diversity of life. Choices A, B, and C are all outdated and incorrect classification schemes.
