Solution

Characteristics based on which five kingdom classification was done:
  • Cell structure
  • Thallus organization.
  • Mode of nutrition
  • Source of nutrition
  • Mode of reproduction
  • Body complexity.
  • Phylogenetic relationship.
Since morphology alone is not enough to determine the difference between the two individuals these characteristics are used to differentiate them.
