Artery have thick and more muscular tissue to withstand high blood pressure. Arteries pumps blood to all parts of the body.
The lumen of arteries are small, this gives them high pressure, they require very high pressure so that blood can reach all part of the body.

If thymidine dimers created by UV irradiation persist until DNA replication, DNA polymerase is likely to make a mistake reading
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Thymidine dimers is likely to be repair as soon as it is originated but if left unrepaired then it causes  frame shift mutations.

Explanation:

In case of Bacterium if UV irradiation induces covalent linkage of two thymidine present adjacently to each other or on a single strand to make thymidine dimers.

These either excised via DNA repair enzyme like Endonuclease V and the proof reading activity of DNA polymerase I enzyme help in incorporation of nucleotide by taking the unmutated original strand as a template.

These dimers if not excised before second round of replication than the sequence of newly synthesized strand will be altered. As DNA polymerase III enzyme read thymidine dimers as single thymidine nucleotide and incorporate only 1 adenine in the newly synthesizing complementary strand which results in frame shift mutations

It is the mutation in which reading frame of codons is shifted or altered due to deletion or addition of a single nucleotide.

Artyom0805 [142]

Following are the statements:

1. Main phagocytes in circulation

2. Like eosinophils, they are involved in inflammation and allergic reactions

3. Phagocytic cells that leave circulation and differentiate into macrophages

4. Display no antigen specificity but are active against tumor and virally infected cells

Answer:

1. Neutrophils

2. Basophils

3. Monocytes

4. Natural killer cells

Explanation:

Neutrophils can be described as the most abundant type of white blood cells. They make up to 55%- 75% of the immune system.

Basophils can be described as white blood cells which are made in the bone marrow.

Monocytes can be described as white blood cells which are the largest and differentiate into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells.

Natural killer cells can be described as white blood cells which play a role in providing innate immunity.
