The answer is 44 chickens and 28 rabbits.

We have a system of two equations.
x - the number of rabbits
y - the number of chickens

Both chicken and rabbit have only 1 head, so the first equation is: x + y = 72.
Since rabbits have 4 legs and chickens 2 legs, the second equation is: 4x + 2y = 200.

Now, let's solve the system:
x + y = 72
4x + 2y = 200
___________
y = 72 - x
⇒ 4x + 2 · (72 - x) = 200
4x + 2 · 72 - 2 · x = 200
4x + 144 - 2x = 200
2x + 144 = 200
2x = 200 - 144
2x = 56
⇒ x = 56 ÷ 2 = 28
So, there are 28 rabbits.

Since
y = 72 - x = 72 - 28 = 44,
there are 44 chickens.

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer can also be referred to as lateral gene transfer. It is the transmission of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) between different genomes.

Horizontal gene transfer has been shown to occur between different species, such as between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Horizontal gene transfer is made possible by the existence of genetic elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and bacteriophages (bacteria that infects viruses).

PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.  

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g

Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g

As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
