Vibrio cholerae produces a toxin that destroys the intestinal epithelium. This leads to massive diarrhea; the diarrhea can kill the human via dehydration but helps the bacteria spread and colonize other humans. What is this relationship?

Symbiotic

Explanation:

The symbiotic relationship can be defined as the type of relationship in which two organisms are involved. These bacteria spread in the gut of the human beings and causes diarrhea.

These bacteria live in the gut of the human beings and carry out parasitism kind of a relationship.

These bacteria get nutrition from the food that human beings eat and causes diarrhea which cause contamination and spread from one person to another person.

This is symbiotic relationship.

Explanation:

It is a form of close biological  interaction  between two organisms  of  different  species where  the two organisms involved  benefited from one another, or only one benefits while the other neither benefited or harm. Ir is usually a long time relationship.

In this present case, Vibro cholerae demonstrated conjugative symbiosis, because  there is close body contacts between the intestinal wall of  human, and the bacterial. It   secretes Choleragen toxin, on penetrating the wall,which disrupts the epithelium lining of the intestine, affecting the water and salt balance leading to loss  through diarrhea.

Because the bacteria lives in the epithelium of the intestine  it is endosymbiosis.

However, Vibro cholerae is a falcultative Pathogen, because it causes harm to the host, man, but it does not entirely depends on man for survival. Man is not its natural habitat. it leaves the host  body through  faeces and  vomit droplets.

Furthermore, this symbiotic relationship is antagonism forms of  Amensalism, because man the host did not gain any benefit from the association rather the vibro cholerae causes harm to man. Amensalism is an unbalanced  type of Commercialism(example of symbiosis) where only one organism benefits while the other organisms  suffer  harms from the relationship.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
