So, at the Darwinian threshold for Eukarya, you infer a population of n entities, unrelated by common ancestry (vertical descent) from an earlier cell, but sharing the characters that define Eukarya, such as a membrane-bound nucleus.
-
In other words, the taxonomic character "possesses a membrane-bound nucleus" does not define a clade whose first representative was a discrete cell.
