Which blood vessels carry blood away from the heart?

Biology
2 answers:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Arteries carry blood towards the organ

Veins carry blood away from the organ

Explanation:

A common misconception is to get the concepts of arteries and veins mixed up. It is commonly thought that arteries are red (because due to the pigment in hemoglobin, when bound with oxygen, the red blood cells appear red), and veins are blue (because when the pigment in hemoglobin is not bound to oxygen, the pigment is blue/purple in color).

This can be confusing especially when concerned with the pulmonary system, because the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood back to the heart, to be pumped around the body.

The best way to remember this concept is that arteries arrive at the organ, while the veins vacate from the organ.

Which of the following contribute(s) to the variation in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. All of the above

Explanation:

Variation in offspring can be contributed by many different events that change the DNA sequence in gametic cells. These events are crossing over, mutation, independent assortment, and random fertilization.

During the gamete formation, the different genes are assorted independently from the other gametes which results in forming various possible combinations of genes in a gamete increasing the genetic variation.

Crossing over occurs during meiosis between the homologous chromosome that results in exchange of genetic material that brings genetic variation in gametes. During random fertilization, the two gametes fuse and genetic material of two different individual comes to make an offspring which forms a genetical different offspring.

Mutation in the gametic cell is transferred to the offspring during fertilization. Therefore all contributes to variation in offspring produced by sexual reproduction.
