Answer:

The veins and arteries encounter differences in the pressure of the blood flow. As a consequence, these differences are seen in the composition of the vessels. The arteries encounter with a pressure wave as blood gets pumped from the heart. This can be experienced as a pulse. Due to this pressure, the arteries' walls are much thicker in comparison to those of the corresponding veins.  

Thus, arteries appear to exhibit more uniform shape, they seem to be more circular in shape in comparison to veins. Veins do not encounter with the pressure waves like the arteries do. Thus, they do not require to be structurally strong. The vessels' walls of veins are thinner in comparison to arteries and do not exhibit much tunica media.

Explain how an unbalanced translocation occurs and how it affects humans
Serga [27]
Translocations may be balanced when there is an even exchange of material with no genetic information extra or missing, and ideally full functionality. Or can be unbalanced where the exchange of chromosome material is unequal resulting in extra or missing genes. For example a child who has an unbalanced translocation may have learning disabilities, developmental delay and health problems. The seriousness of the disability depends on exactly which parts of which chromosomes are involved and how much missing or extra chromosome material present.
