Your lab is working on sequencing a new plasmid. Before starting, you all decide to guess how many base pairs you think the new plasmid has. The lab members' guesses are 4,005; 4,006; 4,007; and 4,010. It turns out the plasmid has 7,968 base pairs. Accurate Precise Neither Both

Solution :

In this question we have to determine whether the statement given in the question is accurate or precise or both or neither of them.

In the question it is given that the lab members are making a guess about how many base pairs will the new plasmid will have.  Their random guesses of base pairs are 4,005; 4,006; 4,007; and 4,010. But in actual, the new plasmid has 7,968 number of base pairs.

Therefore, according to it, the data in the statement is precise but it is not accurate.

Precision refers to the degree of the reproducibility of measurements even if the values varies from accepted values. And accuracy shows how much close the measurement is to the accepted or the known value.

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.
