Step 1

Introduction 

The domain system states that the tree of life is divided into two domains, Archaea and Bacteria, with Eukarya included in Archaea, or three domains, such as Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus, and the first two are all prokaryotes. Eukarya encompasses all living things with a cell nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
