Question

Which of the following statements are true
A. Bacteria are categorized underneath the Kingdom Monera. 
B. Protista are unicellular and eukaryotic organisms. 
C. Yeasts and molds are under kingdom Fungi 
D. Multinucleated higher fungi are under Animalia 
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B and C only
• B. B, C and D only
• C. A and B only
• D. C and D only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine which of the statements are true, we need to analyze each statement against established biological classification criteria:

1. Statement A: Bacteria are categorized underneath the Kingdom Monera.
   • This statement is true. Bacteria are classified under the Kingdom Monera, according to the five-kingdom classification system proposed by R.H. Whittaker. Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that lack a nucleus.
2. Statement B: Protista are unicellular and eukaryotic organisms.
   • This statement is also true. The kingdom Protista includes mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, distinguishing them from prokaryotes, which have no membrane-bound nucleus.
3. Statement C: Yeasts and molds are under kingdom Fungi.
   • This statement is true as well. Yeasts and molds are both types of fungi. Yeasts are unicellular fungi, while molds are multicellular fungi.
4. Statement D: Multinucleated higher fungi are under Animalia.
   • This statement is false. Multinucleated higher fungi, such as those in the group Basidiomycota, are classified under the Kingdom Fungi, not Animalia.

Based on the analysis above, the correct statements are A, B, and C. Therefore, the correct answer is:

A, B and C only
