What caused scientists to divide the monera into two distinct groups?
After investigating the genetic relationships between the bacteria and the archaea, taxonomists determined that they were different enough that they should each have their own domain.
Who discovered archaea?
Carl Woese, of the University of Illinois, discovered archaea. He realized that while these creatures - the smallest, simplest organisms on earth - were similar to bacteria, and shared bacteria's key feature (no nucelus), their genes greatly resembled those of more advanced cells. He proposed that these new organisms be classified in their own kingdom, today known as "archaea."
What is a domain in biology?
The highest taxonomic rank of organism ... Domain ( as you see,, it's the highest, or the broad part") the most unspecific Kingdom phylum class order family gene species

What contribution did Carl Woese make to your understanding of the evolutionary history of prokaryotic organisms?

Carl Woese
What modification did carl woese make in Robert whittaker's classification?
Carl Woese modified Robert Whittaker's classification by proposing the three-domain system of classification, which categorizes organisms into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, based on genetic similarities. This replaced the traditional five-kingdom system introduced by Whittaker.
Who give 6 kingdom classification?
Carl Woese split up the prokaryotes into two kingdoms, creating a total of six kingdoms.
Who discovered the bacteria kingdom?
Michael Epstein, Karl Landsteiner, Alexander Ogston, Alexandre Yersin and more they were the one who discovered bacteria and fungi.
