DNA replication occurs through a semiconservative process where the parental DNA strands separate and act as templates for the synthesis of new complementary strands. Key experiments by Meselson and Stahl provided evidence for this semiconservative model. DNA polymerase, discovered by Arthur Kornberg in 1955, is the main enzyme that catalyzes DNA synthesis. It requires DNA templates, dNTPs, and magnesium ions to carry out the step-wise addition of nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction to form new DNA strands.

Transcription is more complicated in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes because
eukaryotes possess three different classes of RNA polymerases and because of the
way in which transcripts are processed to their functional forms.
More proteins and transcription factors are involved in eukaryotic transcription.

“This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest.”
This may be the science most famous statement, which appeared in April 1953 in the scientific paper where James Watson and Francis Crick presented the structure of the DNA-helix.
“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Watson and Crick’s model of replication
• The base-pairing principal inherent for Watson-Crick
model suggests that the two new strands are copied
from two old strands.
3. Models of DNA replication
• Parent molecule remains the same
• Completely new copy of the double helix is made
• Parent strands separate and serve as
templates for new strand synthesis
• Hybrid molecules are made
• New strands contain a mixture of old
molecules and newly synthesized
molecules

(deoxyribonucleoside 5’-triphosphates)
(sugar-base + 3 phosphates)
2. DNA template

7. DNA polymerase
• DNA polymerases are important enzymes involved in DNA
• replication.
• Three polymerases have been purified from E.coli.
• In addition to important role in filling the gaps between
• Okazaki fragments, DNA polymerase I is the most
important enzyme for gap filling during DNA repair.
• DNA polymerase II functions in gap filling and appears to
facilitate DNA synthesis directed by damaged templates.
• DNA polymerase III catalyzes chain elongation at the
• growing fork of E. coli.
8. Three main features of the DNA synthesis reaction:
1. DNA polymerase I catalyzes formation of phosphodiester bond
between 3’-OH of the deoxyribose (on the last nucleotide) and
the 5’-phosphate of the dNTP.
• Energy for this reaction is derived from the release of two of
the three phosphates of the dNTP.
2. DNA polymerase “finds” the correct complementary dNTP at
each step in the lengthening process.
• rate ≤ 800 dNTPs/second
• low error rate
3. Direction of synthesis is 5’ to 3’
