From prokaryotes to eukaryotes - Understanding Evolution Living things have evolved into three large clusters of closely related organisms, called “domains”: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryota Archaea and Bacteria are small, relatively simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall, with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes They are called prokaryotes Virtually all the life we see each day — including plants and animals
