In the early classification system, all bacteria were classified in one kingdom. Bacteria was later broken up into two separate kingdoms, Eubacteria and Archaea. Which of the following best explains a reason for this change?

- As new organisms were discovered, new kingdoms were created to sort them based on ability to interbreed.
- It was discovered that the organisms in each of the five kingdoms have a different method of obtaining nutrients and are therefore fundamentally different.
- Technological advances led to the discovery of single-celled organisms and increased our understanding of relationships between organisms.
- Genetic research led to the discovery that each of these five kingdoms has a unique evolutionary ancestor.

The reason for this change is "Technological advances led to the discovery of single-celled organisms and increased our understanding of relationships between organisms"

Why bacteria and archaea should be classified into different kingdoms?

Archea and bacteria are both prokaryotic organisms ( organisms without defined organelles and nucleus) that share common features such as a similar morphology and similar ways to obtain food/energy. However,  these organisms have important differences such as RNA type, they have a slightly different morphology and they live in different habitats.

Why did this change in classification occurred?

This change occurred due to technological advances. Indeed, the classification of organisms into 4 kingdoms occurred by the beginning of the 20th century when unicellular prokaryotic organisms had not been completely studied, and therefore it has not been determined this group included two sub-groups.
