Question

Early ideas on the classification of life recognized all organisms as belonging to one of two fundamental lineages−prokaryotes or eukaryotes. is this view compatible with either of the hypotheses illustrated above? explain.

Answer 1

I think this view is NOT compatible with either of these hypothesis illustrated above. This is because each hypothesis presents prokaryotes as two separate groups. Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle unlike the eukaryotes which has the membrane bound nucleus and other organelles.
