Which domain of life is associated with single-celled organisms that lack nuclei?

The correct answer is associated with the domain Archaea, which comprises single-celled organisms that are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Archaea are distinct from Bacteria despite both being prokaryotic. They often inhabit extreme environments and have unique biochemical and genetic properties that differentiate them from bacteria.

In addition, while Bacteria also includes single-celled organisms that lack nuclei, Archaea represents a separate domain with its own unique characteristics. Eukarya, on the other hand, includes organisms that do possess a nucleus, such as plants, animals, and fungi, indicating that they are multicellular or complex single-celled organisms. Fungi, classified under Eukarya, are primarily multicellular with complex cellular structures, further separating them from prokaryotic domains. Thus, the association of single-celled, nucleus-lacking organisms with the Archaea domain is valid and crucial for understanding the diversity of life.
