Solution:

In order to develop phylogenetic classification, RH Whittaker (1969), an American taxonomist, divided all the organisms into five kingdoms. Whittaker's five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Monera kingdom includes all prokaryotes mycoptasma, bacteria, acrinomycetes and cyanobacteria or blue-green algae.
