Detailed explanation-1: -Because of Woese’s work, it is now widely agreed that there are three primary divisions of living systems – the Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea, a classification scheme that Woese proposed in 1990.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three-domain classification was proposed by Carl Woese in 1990. The Three Domains were Archae, Bacteria, and Eukaryote while the Six Kingdoms were Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three-domain system emphasizes the similarities among eukaryotes and the differences among eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. By using domains, Woese was able to show these relationships without replacing the popular six-kingdom system.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Three Domain System, developed by Carl Woese in 1990, is a system for classifying biological organisms. Before Woese’s discovery of archaea as distinct from bacteria in 1977, scientists believed there were only two types of life: eukarya and bacteria.
