Monera
Prokaryotes are very tiny, single-celled organisms.
These cells' DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is not enclosed in a nucleus, instead sitting in a loose assembly in the cytoplasm called the nuceloid.
This DNA is in the form of a single circular chromosome.
The cells contain no organelles or specialized membrane-bound structures, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies and mitochondria found in eukaryotic cells.
They do contain ribosomes, structures made out of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and proteins that synthesize new proteins.

- these organisms have prokaryotic nucleus i.e., they don't have a well defined nucleus
- unicellular body organisation
- they reproduce asexually
- they can be found in all types of environmental conditions including hot springs
- contain 70S type ribosomes
- cell organelles are absent
- single circular DNA
