Transport of blood under high pressure is done through the concerted efforts of the heart and arteries.

<h2>The circulatory system is the network of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries responsible for the movement of blood around the body.</h2>

Transporting blood under high pressure can be explained in the following steps:

Contraction of the heart ventricles creates blood under high pressure
High pressured blood is removed from the heart through the arteries. In addition, the arteries are able to contract and expand, thus are elastic
The lumen of the arteries is narrow thus helping in maintaining high pressure

As a result of the above, the high pressure of blood is maintained and transported to the extremities of the body.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

The 2 traits of the agouti fur mice are determined by non linked genes, which assort independently.

For this purpose we will use the multiplication rule to calculate the probability of agouti brown offspring (A_ bb) from AaBb parents.

The probability of A_ offspring is 3/4 and the probability of offspring bb is 1/4.

The total probability will be 3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16.
