Answer:

Since pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood while pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood.

Explanation:

It is incorrect since it is not true for all the arteries and veins present in the body. The arteries such as the pulmonary artery deliver the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. On the other hand, the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Therefore, arteries carry the blood away from the heart while the veins carry the blood towards the heart.

Answer: It is incorrect because arteries carry deoxygenated blood and veins carries oxygenated blood.

Explanation:

Veins are blood vessels that carries blood to the heart. Most veins carries deoxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary veins that carries oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium of the heart.

Arteries are blood vessels that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carries Oxygenated blood with the exception of Pulmonary arteries that are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. When the blood passes through the alveoli, it become oxygenated which is a process of respiration.

Many plants depend on animals primarily insects for pollination and sexual reproduction. If the animals (insects that pollinate) most flowering plants would be unable to reproduce and would go extinct.

Both plants and animals undergo cellular respiration producing Carbon Dioxide. Animals produce only Carbon Dioxide while plants produce both Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. If animals went extinct there would be less Carbon Dioxide to support photosynthesis and more complex plants would have a difficult time adapting to the reduced levels of Carbon Dioxide.

Plants that survived the extinction of animals would be much simpler than presently complex plants.

Perhaps some plants would become predators of other plants to absorb the nitrogen content of other plants because of the lack of animals to engage in the recycling of nitrogen content.

NEED HELP! EXTRA POINTS!!!

Parental Phenotypes: "Yellow-Smooth", "Yellow-Wrinkled", "Green-Smooth", "Green Wrinkled".

Parental Genotypes: SsGg × SsGg

Parental Gametes: SG, Sg, sG, sg

Smooth/Green = S-G- = 9

Winkled/Green = ssG- = 3

Smooth/Yellow = S-gg = 3

Wrinkled/Yellow = ssgg = 1

Ratio would be: 9: 3: 3: 1

Hope this helps!
