Viruses are not part of the three - domain system shown (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya). Eukaryotes are a domain and not the ancestral cell type. Proto - prokaryotes is not the correct term for this ancestral cell. The LCA is the correct ancestral cell type referred to by the arrow in the context of the tree of life.
