Name a difference between a vein and artery

Biology

Arteries like veins, are tube-shaped vessels that carry blood in the body. 
But the difference is that the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. But the veins carry poor-oxygen blood back from the body to the heart! 
I hope this helps! :)

Arteries carry oxgenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick elastic walls to withstand high blood pressure being pumped from the blood. This is why they appear red in colour.

On the other hand, veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. They are thin in comparison to the artery, as they are under lower blood pressure. However, veins contain valves to prevent backflow of blood as veins carry deoxygenated blood.

bogdanovich [222]

If mutation destroys the function of the Cas9 gene then the bacteria will not be able to target a specific bacteriophage for destruction upon infection for the second time.

<h3>What is the Cas9 gene?</h3>
  • Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton protein that plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.
  • Its main function is to cut DNA and thereby alter a cell's genome.
  • Although Cas9 is an endonuclease and is evolved as a mechanism of immunity against viruses, they are not considered restriction enzymes.
