Why do arteries need to be thick, muscular, and elastic?

blood flows at a high pressure, so if the arteries are thin and less muscular, the arteries can explode due to the pressure. so it needs thick and muscular properties so that it can withstand the increasing pressure of the flow of blood.

im not sure why it needs to be elastic. Hope it helped :)

youre right there are

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
