• In living organisms, emergent properties

• functionally arise from smaller successful parts and work together for a more successful organism.
• are produced in a new generation of offspring that will show the properties.
• develop tissue and organ systems, which show higher levels of complexity.
• functionally arise from larger successful parts working together for stronger organism.

• Until the late 1970s, there was no "Domain" as the broadest category in taxonomy. Instead, there were five kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, and Monera,

which included all bacteria-like organisms.Researchers proposed the domains to distinguish between the bacteria-like organisms. Which information supported the domain level, and subsequent domains of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya?

• More complex emergent properties developed after organisms were originally categorized into kingdoms.
• Organisms in the Bacteria and Archaea domains have a nucleus, whereas eukaryotes do not.
• Cell shapes of bacteria and archaea were found to be more distinct, after microscope technology improved.
• Differences in DNA among the existing kingdoms showed a need for a broader naming category.
• Evolution led to new adaptations and diversity of organisms.
