Question

Which of the following feature differentiates Monera from other kingdoms?

• A. All monerans are prokaryotes.
• B. All monerans are eukaryotes.
• C. Monerans have a cell wall whereas other organisms only have cell membranes.
• D. Monerans are angiosperms, whereas all other organisms are gymnosperms.
• E. All monerans exhibit radial cleavage.

Answer 1

The correct option is A All monerans are prokaryotes.

The kingdom Monera is composed of prokaryotic organisms and is divided into two groups, archaebacteria and eubacteria. These organisms are unicellular or multicellular prokaryotes, which do not have well-developed cell organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast, etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option 'All monerans are prokaryotes'.
