Question

Explain the domain system. How has it changed over the years?

Answer 1

This classification system model was based on principles developed by Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus, whose hierarchical system groups organisms based on common physical characteristics. Taxonomy is a hierarchical system for classifying and identifying organisms. Carolus Linnaeus developed those principles in the 18th century. In 1990, Three-domain system was developed by Carl Woese, an American microbiologist and physicist. The three-domain system divides cellular life forms into archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains and each domain can be further divided into kingdoms, phyla, classes, and so forth.
