Why are members of this domain called archaea?
Members of the domain Archaea are called archaea because they were initially mistaken for bacteria due to their small size and simple structure. When they were discovered to be a distinct group of organisms with unique characteristics, they were given the name Archaea, derived from the Greek word "archaios" meaning ancient, to reflect their ancient origins in evolutionary history.
Is bacteriophage in the domain archaea?
No, bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, not archaea. Archaea are a separate domain of single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from both bacteria and viruses.
Why is the domain called archaea?
Archaea were first classified as a separate group of prokaryotes in 1977 by Carl Woese and George E. Fox in phylogenetic trees based on the sequences of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. These two groups were originally named the Archaebacteria and Eubacteria and treated as kingdoms or subkingdoms, which Woese and Fox termed Urkingdoms. Woese argued that this group of prokaryotes is a fundamentally different sort of life. To emphasize this difference, these two domains were later renamed Archaea and Bacteria. The word archaea comes from the Ancient Greek ἀρχαῖα, meaning "ancient things".
Are bacteria and archaea both members of the same kingdom?
Yes- archaea is another name for archaebacteria. If you disagree with me, look up the word archaea on dictionary.com and you will find this at the bottom of the definition:"Also called Archaebacteria."This (I would think) would prove my point in saying that Archaea is the same as Archaebacteria. The End.(If I am wrong, then don't blame me- blame ditionary.com and jsyk, I am NOT trying to dis dictionary.com, because they have a definition for the Beatles, which makes me VERY EMOTIONALLY HAPPY!!! 8D So don't think that I'm trying to dis dictionary.com! And if you didn't think I was, then good for you- you just earned a gold star sticker! BUT WAIT- THERE'S MORE! You also got some Brownie Points! Congrats!)
Key genetic sequences suggest that archaea are more closely related to members of domain?
Key genetic sequences suggest that archaea are more closely related to members of the domain Eukarya than to bacteria. Phylogenetic studies have revealed similarities in ribosomal RNA and other genetic markers, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship between archaea and eukaryotes. This finding has significant implications for our understanding of the tree of life and the evolution of cellular complexity.

Where are bacterial members of the domain Archaea found?
found in extreme enviorments
How do the members of the two domains of prokaryote differ?
One is single celled one is not
What kingdom and domain is euryarchaetoa in?
Euryarchaeota is a kingdom of Archaea. Its domain is Archaea.
Do both domain bacteria and domain archaea have a nucleus?
Both archea and bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning they have no nucleus.
How are the organism in the domain eukarya different from those in domain archaea?
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, Archaea do not.

Which domain is directly related to the oldest organism on earth?
The domain Archaea covers the organisms considered to be the oldest on earth.They are commonly called archaebacteria but they are quite different from bacteria and are now more properly called archaea.
Why are members of this domain called archea which comes from the greek word that means ancient?
Deep in the pacific ocean, hot gases and molten rock spew from a vent in the ocean floor. It is hard to imagine that anything could live in these harsh conditions but a group of tiny organisms thrives in these places they are the members of Archaea whose name comes from the Greek word ancient
To what domain does bacteria belong?
The eubacteria (true bacteria) is an older classification, now just called bacteria, which is the domain itself. The other domain of prokaryotes is now called archaea.
