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.

Can we detect bacteria in pollutants using DNA profiling
Blababa [14]
Yes. You could do this by adding solvents to break down any cell walls, centrifuge to separate the DNA, if you haven't got much then upscale with PCR, gel electrophoresis could be used to detect the DNA, and Sanger sequencing to find the sequence.

- Are living things only the product of their DNA? Why or why'not?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

No, since DNA does code for certain traits, others are introduced or changed by the environment. For example, some adaptations are not coded in DNA, such as dying hair. According to the gene, hair is to be black, for example, but it can be changed to look pink. Another example is when a person is first born. When they are, some bacteria enter the system of the baby --- mostly good. Then the baby's gut will be different, and the bacteria in the gut are not coded by the DNA. So, living things are not only the product of DNA, as there are extraneous factors that affect living things as well.

Explanation:

Phew, that was long! Hope this helps (:
