  2. Three-domain system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-domain_system

    The three-domain system adds a level of classification (the domains) "above" the kingdoms present in the previously used five- or six-kingdom systems.This classification system recognizes the fundamental divide between the two prokaryotic groups, insofar as Archaea appear to be more closely related to eukaryotes than they are to other prokaryotes – bacteria-like organisms with no cell nucleus.

  3. Two-domain system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-domain_system

    The tree of life. Two domains of life are Bacteria (top branches) and Archaea (bottom branches, including eukaryotes). The two-domain system is a biological classification by which all organisms in the tree of life are classified into two domains, Bacteria and Archaea.

  4. Archaea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea

    Traditionally, Archaea only included its prokaryotic members, but this since has been found to be paraphyletic, as eukaryotes are now known to have evolved from archaea. Even though the domain Archaea includes eukaryotes, the term "archaea" (sg.: archaeon / ɑːr ˈ k iː ɒ n / ar-KEE-on, from the Greek "ἀρχαῖον", which means ancient ...

  5. Domain (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(biology)

    According to the domain system, the tree of life consists of either three domains, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, [1] or two domains, Archaea and Bacteria, with Eukarya included in Archaea. [3] [4] In the three-domain model, the first two are prokaryotes, single-celled microorganisms without a membrane-bound nucleus.

  6. Kingdom (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)

    In 1977, Carl Woese and colleagues proposed the fundamental subdivision of the prokaryotes into the Eubacteria (later called the Bacteria) and Archaebacteria (later called the Archaea), based on ribosomal RNA structure; [15] this would later lead to the proposal of three "domains" of life, of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. [5]

  7. Bacterial taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_taxonomy

    Of these ranks, domains are the most general level of categorization. Presently, scientists classify all life into just three domains, Eukaryotes, Bacteria and Archaea. [2] Bacterial taxonomy is the classification of strains within the domain Bacteria into hierarchies of similarity.

  8. Marine prokaryotes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_prokaryotes

    [1] [2] [3] The three-domain system of classifying life adds another division: the prokaryotes are divided into two domains of life, the microscopic bacteria and the microscopic archaea, while everything else, the eukaryotes, become the third domain. [4] Prokaryotes play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers recycling nutrients.
