Consider the table. types of bacteria form shape associated disease coccus x strep throat bacillus rod shaped y spirillum spiral cholera which best describes x and y? x = spherical; y = e. coli x = comma shaped; y = whooping cough x = oval shaped; y = s. aureus x = rod shaped; y = pneumonia

The correct answer is option A which is:

X = Spherical; Y = E Coli

In this table X is the shape of bacteria whose form is coccus and its associated disease is strep throat. From the form we can say that shape of that bacteria is spherical, Like streptococcus pneumonia.

Y is the bacteria associated with disease. And other information indicates that bacteria is E-coli

Shapes of virus and bacteria differs.  The option that best describes X and Y? option A is  X = Spherical; Y = E Coli.

Bacteria is known to have three classes of shapes. They are

Coccus bacteria are known to be spherical shaped bacteria.  Bacillus are said to have a rod like Spirillum are known to have spiral shape.  

E.coli disease is known to be due to E.coli bacteria that belongs to the division bacillus.
