... perhaps the reason Holloway was affected differently from Elizabeth was due to gender (and/or insemination method)?As you point out, it seems each iteration encounter with the trans-mutagenic catalist/infection creates a NEW hybrid, somewhat like the way that the host is somewhat integrated into the mix in "The Thing" remake - and always an optimization of resources availiable from the host.
Dumb host matter = dumb monster (iteration defeated more easily)?
Smart host matter = improved monster (iteration survives)?
The trans-mutagenic effect in males is extreme tumor like monstrosity?
