ooop, sorry
Hey, evolutionaryists.
Why, if it has been postulated that the eukaryotic cell is a colony of prokaryotes ( hence the existence of mitochondrial DNA), do I still get a cold?

theres no cure for the common cold.
The common cold is a viral infection. Unfortunately, there are many different cold viruses out there-hundreds of them! Humans have evolved a sophisticated immune system over millions of years that fights viruses. It does many things to kill viral infections. For example, once you catch a cold and the virus is inside you, the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies that bind to the virus and destroy it. The clever thing about the immune system is that it keeps producing those antibodies for years to prevent you from ever catching that same cold virus again. But since there are many different cold viruses out there, you keep catching colds even though your body remembers how to fight all the ones you've already caught.

Actually, there are eukaryotes that seem to be just several prokaryotes, and I have seen ( under a microscope) colonies of prokaryotes that are of the same species but their arrangements are slightly different depending on the location in the colony.
Yes, that is the general description of the existence of mitochondrial DNA. It's actually extremely sound.
No pints for you though.
A cold (flu) is a virus. Really, it has nothing to do whatsoever with your question. Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes, living or non-organic. Quite a "missing link" eh?

The evolution question - because viruses evolve too
The pint question - alright then. Mine's a pint of the funniest sounding Real Ale at the bar.
Cheers

uh
1. its "evolutionists"
and
2. ask a biologist.
since you apaprenly done understand #1 then im going to aslo dont understand your question. using the additional information page id like to see if you could elaborat on your question....im willing to bet that this is a simple copy/paste job...and if the answer is given....you wont understand it.
