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;

petit arm

Explanation;

All human chromosomes have 2 arms, the p (short) arm and the q (long) arm. They are separated from each other only by a primary constriction, the centromere, the point at which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division.

The symbol "p" stands for "petit", small in French, while "q" was chosen merely because it was the next letter in the alphabet.

What occurrence would contradict the big bang theory?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The big bang theory states that the universe began approximately 10-20 billion years ago in an expansion of the universe emanating from an extremely compact point. The occurrence of super massive black holes contradict the big bang theory. Super massive black holes are found at the center of galaxies and is what keeps them together. Models do not explain how these would have formed if the big bang occurred the way it was proposed.
