The correct answer is birds and Mammals.

  • Birds and Mammals have a double circulatory pathway.

Key Points

  • No, mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in this pathway.
  • The ventricles pump it out without mixing which means two separate circulatory pathways are present in these organisms.
  • Hence, these animals have double circulation.
  • Fishes have single circulatory pathways of circulation which's why known as a single circulation system.
  • In this system oxygenated blood is supplied to the body from where deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart. 
  • In Amphibian and reptiles has incomplete circulation.
  • Here oxygenated and deoxygenated blood gets to mix up within the single ventricle.
