The three-domain system divides life into three primary domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Archaea and Bacteria are prokaryotic domains characterized by the absence of a membrane-bound nucleus, while Eukarya comprises eukaryotic organisms with complex cells containing a nucleus and organelles. This division is based on molecular data, particularly the analysis of rRNA sequences.
