What is classification of domains based on?
Classification of domains is based on:
1. cell type
2. differences in nucleic acids
3. differences in cell wall/cell membrane

This word means "makes its own food."
Autotrophs make their own food.
400
Organisms in this kingdom are prokaryotes. They have a cell wall with NO peptidoglycan. They live in extreme environments.
Archae or Archaebacteria

Dogs and coyotes are in the same genus. Are they in the same family? Why or why not?
They are in the same family because if they are in the same genus, everything above is the same!
