The chief difference between arteries<span> and </span>veins<span> is the job that they do. </span>Arteries<span> carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and </span>veins<span> carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. 

Another difference would be v</span><span>eins have valves and arteries do not. In arteries, blood flows in the right direction because of the heart pumping it forwards at high pressures. The lower blood pressure in veins means that valves are needed to stop blood flowing backwards (for example, in veins in the legs, blood needs to flow upwards against the pull of gravity).</span>

A calico cat has both black and orange spots, which demonstrates a codominance pattern. What would be their expected genotype?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Calico is a coat color found in cats, which is caused by a SEX-LINKED, CODOMINANT allele.

Explanation:

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed. So if an individual inherits allele A from their mother and allele B from their father, they have blood type AB.

It is connected to the reservoir, which contains the storage of food for the organism.
