Question
Chapter 27, Problem 3U
Summary Introduction
Introduction: All life forms are classified into three main domains, namely archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. These three domains are classified based on the type of cells of the organisms. The prokaryotes are unicellular microorganisms that lack membrane-bounded organelles and nucleus.
