What is Kingdom Monera?
The eubacteria, archaebacteria, and blue-green bacteria (or cyanobacteria) which form Kingdom Monera lack the cellular organization that all other living organisms possess: an organized nucleus, double membrane bound organelles, and sexual reproduction that leads to genetic recombination. Other contrasting characteristics of Kingdom Monera members include: biochemical differences in the makeup of the cell walls and DNA, lack of microtubules, and differences in the structure of their flagella.
