Answer:

<h3>Arteries-</h3>

1.Involved in carrying pure, oxygenated blood and nutrient-rich blood.

2.Consists of three distinct layers, which are rigid, thicker and highly muscular.

3.Located deep within the body.

4.Red in colour.

5.Carry blood away from the heart to various parts of the body.

6.High pressure, as the blood flows by the pumping pressure of the heart.

7.Comparatively higher oxygen level.

8.The level of carbon dioxide is low

9.Lumina is narrow

10.Valves are absent

11.Arteries are at a greater risk of certain diseases like angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, etc.

<h3>Veins-</h3>

1.Involved in carrying impure, deoxygenated blood

2.Consists of three distinct layers, which are thin and collapsible.

3.Peripherally located closer to the skin.

4.Blue in colour.

5.Carry blood towards the heart from the various parts of the body.

6.Low pressure, as the blood flows by the capillary action of the veins.

7.Comparatively low oxygen level.

8.The level of carbon dioxide is high

9.In upward direction from the body tissues to the heart.

10.Lumina is wide & Valves are present.

11.Veins are less susceptible to diseases such as varicose veins.

Though tiny, the capillaries are one of the most important parts of the circulatory system because it's through them that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells. In addition, waste products such as carbon dioxide are also removed by the capillaries.

In natural selection what must be true of traits that are passed down through generationsal selection where do the alleles or tr
goblinko [34]
I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.
