Solution
The answer is the last one: Bacteria and Archaea.
Explanation for each option:
Eukarya only: This is incorrect. The domain Eukarya consists of eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, unlike prokaryotic cells.
Bacteria only: This is incorrect. While Bacteria is a domain that consists of prokaryotic cells, it is not the only domain with prokaryotic cells.
Archaea and Eukarya: This is incorrect. Archaea consists of prokaryotic cells, but Eukarya consists of eukaryotic cells.
Bacteria and Archaea: This is correct. Both Bacteria and Archaea are domains that consist of prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
In summary, the domains that consist of prokaryotic cells are Bacteria and Archaea.
