State the characteristic features of Kingdom Monera.

(N/A) The characteristic features of Kingdom Monera are as follows:
$1$. Organisms are unicellular and prokaryotic,lacking a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
$2$. They possess a rigid cell wall made of peptidoglycan (in bacteria).
$3$. Genetic material is present as a circular $DNA$ molecule called the nucleoid,and some may contain small circular $DNA$ called plasmids.
$4$. Ribosomes are of the $70S$ type.
$5$. They exhibit diverse modes of nutrition,including autotrophic (photosynthetic or chemosynthetic) and heterotrophic (saprophytic or parasitic) modes.
$6$. Reproduction is primarily asexual,occurring through binary fission,budding,or spore formation. Sexual reproduction is absent,though genetic recombination can occur.
