Question

The classification of organisms into kingdoms has come under debate in recent years, which group gets more focus in the debate?

• A. Algae and Fungi
• B. Algae and Plants
• C. Fungi and Plants
• D. Fungi and Animals
• E. Prokaryotes and Simple eukaryotes

Answer 1

The correct option is E Prokaryotes and Simple eukaryotes

• The most accurate classification of organisms under 5 kingdom classification was given by R.H. Whittaker.
  
• The 5 kingdoms included were Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
• Due to their relatively simpler structure and size, prokaryotes and simple eukaryotes have remained less extensively studied. It has only became possible after the advent of high power microscopes and crystallisation techinques that these organisms ca be studied and debated about.

So, the correct option is 'Prokaryotes and Simple eukaryotes'.
