Describe mules, and differentiate them from horses

What will be an ideal response?


A mule is a cross between a jack and a mare. A jack is a male donkey or mule. Mares are mature
female horses or ponies. The opposite cross, a stallion with a jennet, results in a hinny. A stallion is an
adult male horse or pony. A jennet is a female donkey or mule. Mules are thought to be more
intelligent than horses and can do more work than comparable-sized horses. There are several types
and sizes of mule, depending on the breed or type of horse that serves as the female parent. Mules may
be used for work, sports, or pleasure.

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. A straightness tolerance is a geometric tolerance that defines the straightness deviation permitted on individual surface elements or on a derived median line. 2. Wherever Rule #1 applies to a cylindrical feature of size, it invokes an indirect straightness deviation requirement on the surface elements. 3. Although Rule #1 provides an indirect straightness tolerance, a straightness tolerance should be specified on surface elements, unless it is a refinement of the dimensional limits of the size dimension (i.e., size tolerance). 4. Wherever Rule #1 applies to a cylindrical regular feature of size, an indirect straightness deviation requirement exists for the derived median line of the feature of size. 5. Where a straightness tolerance is applied to a surface element that is associated with a size dimension, and Rule #1 does not apply to the size dimension (i.e., overridden, independency, stock size, etc.), the straightness tolerance value may be smaller than the size tolerance.
