Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of Monera Monera (Monos – single) includes prokaryotes and shows the following characters: They are typically unicellular organisms (but one group is mycelial). The genetic material in these organisms is the naked circular DNA. A nuclear envelope is absent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monera is the most ancient group of organisms on earth, as well as the most numerous. In this kingdom, the organisms have naked DNA that forms a clump called the nucleoid, as shown below, while organisms in all other kingdoms have DNA enclosed in a nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inside the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells is the cytoplasm. It contains several structures, including ribosomes, a cytoskeleton, and genetic material.
