Question

What are the criteria for the classification of organisms belonging to kingdom Monera and Protista?

Answer 1

Kingdoms Monera and Protista both belong to single-celled life forms, but they are distinct from each other.

The main criteria for the classification of the kingdom Monera and Protista are the presence and absence of a defined nucleus.

Monerans do not have a true nucleus whereas protists have true nuclei.

Organisms that do not contain a nucleus are called prokaryotes classified in a group called Monera and organisms which contain a nucleus are called prokaryotes classified in Protista.
