Question
Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in Eubacteria of kingdom Monera as per the “Five Kingdom Classification” even though the two are vastly different from each other. Is this grouping of the two types of taxa in the same kingdom justified? If so, why?
Solution
Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in the Eubacteria of Kingdom Monera as per the “Five Kingdom Classification” because they do not have nuclear envelopes and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is naked. They have 70S type of ribosomes. So, cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria are prokaryotes and belong, to Kingdom Monera.
