<span>Penile shaft

</span>During erection, blood<span> flows into the spaces, causing distention and elevation of the penis. The amount of blood entering the penis can be increased by physical or psychological stimulation. As blood enters, there is a temporary reduction in the rate and volume of blood leaving the penis. The arteries carrying blood to the penis dilate; this, in turn, causes tissue expansion. The veins leading from the penis have funnel-shaped valves that reduce the outflow of blood. As the erectile tissue begins to enlarge, the additional pressure causes the veins to be squeezed against the surrounding fibrous tissue, and this further diminishes the outflow of blood. Essentially, blood becomes temporarily trapped in the organ.</span>

The answer is penile shaft. 

The penile shaft has 3 erectile columns. There are 2 corpus cavernosum and 1 corpus spongiosum. The skin is loose because those columns fill with blood and the skin will stretch and that's why it hardens. It is the changes in blood flow in the penis that results in an erection.

Thymine dimers can be repaired by Photoreactivation Repair or Nucleotide Excision Repair. - true or false?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:True

Explanation:Basically thymine diamers are mismatched pairs (thymine binds with another thymine instead of binding with adenine) and may lead to unwanted results so the mismatching can be repaired by using two methods which are as follows :

1-the PRE enzyme activated by blue light breaks the thymine diamer and some of the surrounding bonds the strand is cut and DNA polymerase then restores the normal base pairing

2-UVR system breaks dimer creating a gap when a gap is created and the molecules appear unpaired it is filled by proof readers hence restoring normal base pairing.
