Question

In Whittaker’s 5 kingdom classification, all the prokaryotic organisms are grouped under ________

(a) Monera

(b) Protista

(c) Fungi

(d) Animalia

This question was posed to me in a job interview.

I want to ask this question from Whittaker’s Classification of Organisms in portion Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Monera

For explanation I would say: In Whittaker’s 5 kingdom classification, all the prokaryotic organisms are grouped under Monera; all the unicellular organisms under Protista and all the fungi form a separate Kingdom. So, Whittaker’s 5 kingdom classification managed to include characteristics like nature and structure of cells.
