Question

what is five kingdom classification?

Answer 1

The five kingdom system is the most common way of grouping living things based on simple distinctive characteristics. Classification systems are always changing as new information is made available. Modern technologies such as Genetics makes it possible to unravel evolutionary relationships to greater and greater detail. The five-kingdom system was developed by Robert H. Whittaker in 1969 and was built on the work of previous biologists such as Carolus Linnaeus.

Kingdom Animalia

Kingdom Plantae

Kingdom Fungi

Kingdom Protista

Kingdom Monera (Bacteria)
