Microorganisms are considered as the major fraction of Earth’s biomass that evolved about billions of years ago. The prokaryotes are considered as the oldest form of lives that are first evolved on the earth about 4.6 billion years ago. The three domains of life exist today are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Answer to Problem 1TQ
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that include both bacteria and archaea.
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reasons for the correct statement:
Archaea and Bacteria are considered as the single-celled or unicellular prokaryotic organisms with a single loop of a DNA molecule floating freely in the cell cytoplasm. They are small in size of about 1 to 10 µm and they do not have any membrane enclosed organelles.
Option (d) is given as, “both a and b”.
Hence, the option (d) is correct.
Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as, “archaeans”.
Archaea is a group of single-celled prokaryotic organisms, which are initially classified into bacteria. Not only archaea, the domain bacteria are also denoted as prokaryotes. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as, “bacteria”.
The bacteria are single-celled microorganism denoted as prokaryotes. However, the domain Archaea are also considered as prokaryotic organisms as they display many significant characteristics of bacteria. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as, “
Fungi are multicellular organism and belonged to the domain Eukarya. It consist of a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “both b and c”.
Bacteria is a unicellular prokaryote and fungi is a multi-celled eukaryotic organism. Both are different from each other. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.
The domain Archaea and Bacteria are considered as the single-celled or unicellular prokaryotes that have no nucleus.
