Three groups of Algae - Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae) and Chlorophyta (green algae) have been included in the Kingdom Metaphyta. As you have already learnt, the group cyanophyta (blue-green algae) has been placed in the Kingdom Monera while the group Bacillariophyta (go..

The present trend in biology is to follow the five kingdom classification proposed by R.H.Whittaker in the year 1969. Whittaker classified the living organisms into five kingdoms namely. 1. KINGDOM: MONERA (prokaryotic organisms) 2. KINGDOM: PROTISTA (primitive eukaryotic organisms) 3. KINGDOM: MYC..

. Zygote is generally the only diploid structure in the life cycle. There is a regular alternation of haploid gametophytic and diploid sporophytic generations in the life cycle. According to Whittaker's five kingdom classification, the unicellular eukaryotes should be placed in the kingdom Protista..

. The blue-green algae among algae and the bacteria which were earlier placed in the group Thallophyta, were found to contain prokaryotic cells. All other algae, fungi, protozoans and multicellular animals were found to be composed of eukaryotic cells. Copeland suggested in 1966, the erection of a ..

>Kingdom Mycota exclusively includes the fungi. Fungi are a group of heterotrophic (saprotrophic or parasitic) primitive eukaryotes. Fungal plant body is called mycelium. It may be unicellular and multicellular. The multicellular mycelium forms filamentous structures called hyphae. Fungi reproduce ..
