A scientist finds a new life form and determines that it contains no nuclei. Which of the 6 kingdoms could it belong to? Select the list that contains all the possible kingdoms.
A. Protista and Plantae
B. Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
C. Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Plantae
D. Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Fungi
Answer (3)
eubacteria and archaebacteria
Answer: The correct answer is -
**Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. **
As per the information in the question, scientist finds a new life form and determines that it contains** no nuclei**.
This indicates that the new life form is a prokaryote.
Prokaryotes are the organisms that are devoid of nucleus and do not contain any membrane bound subcellular compartments (cell organelles).
Archaebacteria (primitive forms of bacteria) and Eubacteria are the two groups of prokaryotes.
**Thus, Eubacteria and Archaebacteria is the right answer. **
The new life form discovered by the scientist is prokaryotic, indicating it could only belong to the kingdoms Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. Since these are the only two kingdoms without nuclei, the correct answer is option B: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.
