The answer to your question is,

if the oxygen poor blood mixes back with oxygen rich blood, that means that oxygen poor blood is not going back to the lungs to swap CO2 (carbon dioxide) with O2 (oxygen), and this swapping is vital to tissue survival, since oxygen is what keeps your tissues, muscles, and organs alive. so if this blood mixed, ultimately your organs are not receiving enough oxygen and will become starved of it, this can kill you and lots of people every year get heart surgery because their atrium or ventricles in their heart rupture

What are two diffrences between replication and transcription?
Ghella [55]
Replication - The action of copying or reproducing something.
DNA replication of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Transcription - First step to gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language.

1.) Transcription involved both DNA and RNA, whilst replication only involves DNA.
2.) Replication uses two identical replicas of DNA, whilst transcription is copied.
