The correct answer is "they allow traffic to proceed at the speed limit".

First of all, letter B is incorrect as the main function of the speed humps is not to bring harm to the motorists but to ensure the safety of the flow of the traffic. Letter A is correct as speed humps makes the motorists slow down on purpose for the traffic to proceed at a certain speed limit.

The correct answer is option  A. they allow traffic to proceed at the speed limit.

The speed humps or the speed tables are present on the roads in order to maintain the speed of the vehicles passing by. The presence of the speed bumps force the vehicles to reduce their speed before passing, which allow the traffic to be present in a limited speed and also decrease the potential chances of the crashes.

During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the lagging strand is synthesized as Okazaki fra
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Because DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA strands in 5' to 3' direction only.

Explanation:

The 5' end of one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other strand. But DNA polymerase enzyme can elongate the primers in 5' to 3' direction only. Formation of a phosphodiester bond between the existing nucleotide and the incoming nucleotide requires the free 3'OH. This 3' OH serves in the nucleophilic attack during the formation of the bond.

Therefore, the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the form of short DNA fragments. These are called Okazaki fragments. Primers are formed for short distances which in turn are elongated by DNA polymerase to form the Okazaki fragments. On the other hand, the synthesis of the leading strand occurs continuously in the same direction in which the replication fork moves.

Answer: The pathology described in the question is "testicular torsion".

The most sensitive physical exam that is specific to this pathology is testing for reflexes. The inner thigh of the affected side when rubbed should cause the testicle to contract; but in this pathology, it does not.

Explanation:

Testicular torsion is a condition caused by the twisting of the spermatic cord, which causes a loss of blood flow to the testicle. It is the leading cause of testicular loss in adolescent boys, if no surgical intervenvention is carried out as soon as possible.
