Percent error is a statistical tool used for evaluating precision. It is expressed as:

Percent error = | (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value | x 100%

Experimental value represents the calculated value while the theoretical value represents the known value. A percent error value which is approaching zero means that your experimental value is close to the known value. Which can possibly mean that you have precise measurements. Calculations are as follows:

Percent Error = | (2.54 - 2.70) / 2.70 | x 100 =5.93%

Thus, the answer is b. 5.93%.

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

How does industrial agriculture promote farming techniques that are ecologically destructive?
Tcecarenko [31]

Industrial agriculture promote farming techniques that are ecologically destructive by using fertilizers and using processed feeds to feed the animals. Fertilizers contain harmful chemicals that may not be seen on the plants since its main function is to kill the pests that eats the plants. What makes it destructive is when the particles of the fertilizer is mixed with water and then leached into the soil into the water table. The once pure water table is now contaminated. The accumulation of various chemicals from the pesticide can cause the death of aquamarine life and even humans. Also, it can destroy the components of the soil overtime because it can interact with other compounds found in the soil to create a harmful product.
