Comment Comment by mattbit There’s actually two ways of seeing this: the three-domain system and the two-domain system.The three-domain system divides life in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. In this system, Archaea and Bacteria can be grouped together as prokaryotes.In the two-domain system, the division is between Archaea and Bacteria. In this case, eukaryotes are seen as a subgroup of Archaea.Hope to have cleared up some of the confusion. parent mattbit 3 years ago
The three-domain system divides life in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. In this system, Archaea and Bacteria can be grouped together as prokaryotes.
In the two-domain system, the division is between Archaea and Bacteria. In this case, eukaryotes are seen as a subgroup of Archaea.
Hope to have cleared up some of the confusion.
