Answer:

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the primary cause of cholera disease that mainly infects the small intestine and primarily leads to the dehydration of the body.

Explanation:

The genetic analysis reveals that the aforementioned causative bacteria surpass the acidic conditions of the stomach and eventually reaches the intestinal wall and attaches to it. This is followed by the production of toxic protein by the bacterium. This protein is taken inside the cell via receptor mediated endocytosis followed by its binding to the host protein Arf6. This binding leads to the production of cAMP that results in the dehydration process. This mechanism leads to excessive accumulation of chloride ion in the intestine preventing the entry of sodium ion.

These two ions are associated with the creation of water-salt environment in the intestine that leads to tremendous diarrhea via the process of osmosis.

Hence, we can say that cholera bacterium affects the individuals at the cellular level and osmosis plays a vital role in the process.

Which is a difference between bacteria and viruses that showed that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Zigmanuir [339]
The difference between bacteria and viruses that show bacteria are living and not viruses is that viruses, unlike bacteria, lack what is considered a living organism. For Example, viruses cannot reproduce without the help of a host, and don't use the normal way of cell-division for replication. Unlike bacteria, which can reproduce without the aid of a host.

So basically viruses don't have what it need to be a living organism, like reproducing without and host and aren't in the norm for cell-division for replication.

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype
dlinn [17]

Answer:

  • person’s <u>genotype</u> is their unique sequence of DNA. More specifically, this term is used to refer to the two alleles a person has inherited for a particular gene. <u>Phenotype</u> is the detectable expression of this genotype – a patient’s clinical presentation.

Explanation:

person’s phenotype results from the interaction between their genotype and their environment.

The connection between genotype and phenotype is not always clear-cut. This means that you may encounter disparities between your patient’s genomic test result and their clinical presentation. Similarly, the phenotype of patients with a given genetic condition may vary greatly even within families.
