The statement "if p, then q; and if q, then r; therefore, if p, then r" describes the logical reasoning known as the transitive property. More formally, it can be expressed in symbolic logic as "p → q, q → r, therefore p → r." This is a fundamental concept in logic that illustrates how relationships can be inferred through a chain of implications.
No, the conditional statement and its converse are not negations of each other. A conditional statement has the form "If P, then Q" (P → Q), while its converse is "If Q, then P" (Q → P). The negation of a conditional statement "If P, then Q" is "P and not Q" (P ∧ ¬Q), which does not relate to the converse directly.
The argument "If p then q; Not q; Therefore not p" is an example of modus tollens. Modus tollens is a valid form of reasoning that states if the first statement (p) implies the second statement (q) and the second statement is false (not q), then the first statement must also be false (not p).
The negation of a conditional statement is called the "inverse." In formal logic, if the original conditional statement is "If P, then Q" (P → Q), its negation is expressed as "It is not the case that if P, then Q," which can be more specifically represented as "P and not Q" (P ∧ ¬Q). This means that P is true while Q is false, which contradicts the original implication.
A conditional statement is much like the transitive property in geometry, meaning if: P>Q and ~N>P then you can conclude: if ~N>Q

The relationship of starving p bursaria to the algea zoochlorellae is a predatory relationship.
They are the same thing. "P and L Statement" is an older less-commonly used term for an "Income Statement."
Precision
Mutuallistic describes the relationship between a well fed P.bursaria and zoochlorellae.
the original parents in a genetic cross are reffered to as the P generation
The statement "not P" is the negation of statement P. It means the opposite of P is true. For example, if P is "The sky is blue," then not P would be "The sky is not blue."
The statement "If not q, then not p" is logically equivalent to "If p, then q."
It is ~p.
It means the statement P implies Q.
Let us consider "This statement is false." This quotation could also be read as "This, which is a statement, is false," which could by extent be read as "This is a statement and it is false." Let's call this quotation P. The statement that P is a statement will be called Q. If S, then R and S equals R; therefore, if Q, then P equals not-P (since it equals Q and not-P). Since P cannot equal not-P, we know that Q is false. Since Q is false, P is not a statement. Since P says that it is a statement, which is false, P itself is false. Note that being false does not make P a statement; all things that are statements are true or false, but it is not necessarily true that all things that are true or false are statements. In summary: "this statement is false" is false because it says it's a statement but it isn't.
