The structural differences between muscular venules, medium veins, and large veins. Introduction: Veins carry de-oxygenated blood from the organs to the heart. They are also called as capacitance vessels, as they have flaccid and thin walls. When compared to arteries, they accommodate 64% more volume of blood, with only 13% of the blood. The veins have lower blood pressure than arteries and have a steady blood flow. The average blood pressure seen in the arteries is 90 to 100 mm Hg and rises up to 100 mm Hg during systole; in the veins, it is only 10 mm Hg. Unlike arteries, some veins are equipped with valves that ensure a one-way flow of blood. When empty, the veins collapse, get flattened, and form an irregular shape in the histological sections.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?

Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown. The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed. The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be. What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
