Understand the concept of the three domains of life, which is a classification system used to categorize all living organisms.
The three domains are based on differences in the sequences of nucleotides in the cell's ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the cell's membrane lipid structure, and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
The three domains of life are: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Bacteria and Archaea are both prokaryotic domains, meaning their cells do not have a nucleus, while Eukarya includes all eukaryotic organisms, which have cells with a nucleus.
Review the options given in the problem and identify the correct grouping of the three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.
