    False

    Explanation:

    Carl Woese is known for his classification system of the living organisms based on the 16srRNA genes.

    On the basis of rRNA genes, he divided the prokaryotes into archaea and eubacteria whereas the eukaryotes were kept separate; y. This led to the formation of a sixth kingdom and thus the system of classification is known as the six kingdom classification.

    When the phylogenetic relationship was studied he found that the archae, bacteria and eukaryotes developed independently from common ancestor ans thus these three divisions were called the domains which comprise of the kingdoms.

    Since the domain is the largest group of organism therefore false is the correct answer.
