Symbiotic Relationship Between Prokaryote And Eukaryotes

This theory can be further expanded as specific eukaryote cells underwent secondary symbiosis, a process by which the larger host cell engulfs a eukaryote that has previously undergone primary endosymbiosis (McFadden,2001). It is speculated that this phenomenon occurred widely among species,ultimately resulting in the product of many unique and complex organisms present today (McFadden, 2001). Therefore the development and evolution of many species can be attributed to the endosymbiosis between a prokaryote and its host,as it provides the basis for many forms of life present today.

Although not all symbioses result in evolution,many symbiotic relationships are highly essentialin maintaining life .Mutualism refers to a symbiotic relationship
