Answer:

Well, two different relationships are going on- That between humankind and God and humankind and mammals. But I would say it's like a leadership relationship. Is there a specific term you're looking for?

Step-by-step explanation:

After creating humans as male and female in the previous verse, God pronounces His blessing on these first people who are made in His image. Built into the blessing is the capacity to reproduce new generations of human beings—and the command to do so.

God gives four instructions: Be fruitful (or "bear fruit," have babies). Multiply (as each new generation has more kids and they have more kids). Fill the earth (populate). Have dominion (or authority and management) over all the other creatures.
