The order of blood pressure in blood vessels would be letter "D. veins < capillaries < arteries". The arteries carry the blood towards the veins and has relatively thicker walls because of high pressure. The vein carry blood from capillaries back to the heart.

The order of blood pressure in major types of blood vessels from least pressure to greatest is d) veins < capillaries < arteries.

Arteries receive blood directly from the heart and the pressure of blood in arteries is very high. This is the reason why their walls are thick and elastic so that they could withstand this high blood pressure without being punctured. Arteries carry blood away from the heart towards various tissues. Arteries further distribute blood to various capillaries which have comparatively low blood pressure. Veins on the other hand are the type of blood vessels which carry blood from various tissues towards the heart. The blood pressure in the veins is lowest among all these blood vessels.

Growth factors and cytokines both lead to tyrosine phosphorylation through receptors, but they do so through different mechanism
gladu [14]

Answer:

The growth factor receptors have a kinase domain while the Cytokines receptors do not contain a kinase domain as part of their structure.

Explanation:

The two are signaling molecules that control cell activities in some manners, such paracrine, endocrine and autocrine manners.

The receptor kinase domain can be specific for substrate sites in which phosphorylation occurs.

From the sequencing of the human genome, we believe that there are approximately 21,000 protein-coding genes in the genome, of w
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: If every gene has a tissue-specific and signal-dependent transcription pattern, how can such a small number of transcriptional regulatory proteins generate a much larger set of transcriptional patterns? Would be:

Because transcriptional regulators, which are the ones responsible for initiating, and stopping, transcription of RNA into protein, often work in pairs, one goes with the other, and thus increase the regulatory capabilities over gene expression so that the genes translated into RNA and then transcribed into aminoacids in protein chains, actually code for the correct protein types.

These regulators will both stand, as appropriate, on a specific gene to promote its transcription, or prevent it, depending on the different signaling mechanisms received.
