Question

Give reason why blue green algae are classified along with bacteria and placed in kingdom monera.

Answer 1

1. Monera is a group of prokaryotic unicellular bacteria.
2. These organisms do not have a well-defined nucleus, and hence the genetic material is dispersed loosely in the cell.
3. Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are prokaryotic organisms.
4. Therefore, blue-green algae are placed in Kingdom Monera.
