1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Veins carry deoxygenated blood (oxygen poor blood) from other parts of the body to the heart while arteries carry oxygenated blood (oxygen rich blood) away from the heart to other parts of the body.

Explanation: Arteries carry oxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary artery while veins carry oxygen poor blood with the exception of pulmonary vein.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towards the heart.

Arteries have thick, elastic, mucscular walls while veins have thin, less elastic walls.

Arteries have smaller holes inside through which blood passes while veins have wider holes.

Blood flows through the arteries at high pressure while blood flows through the veins at low pressure.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is a natural process in which organisms that are more adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more than those that are not.

Darwin's Finches' beaks were picked for their beneficial adaptations over generations until they all branched off to become new species. These birds have distinct beaks than mainland finches, although being almost identical in every other way.
