Genetic Codon The Three nucleotide base sequence in mRNA that act as code words for amino acids in protein constitute the genetic code or codons.
There are 64 different combinations of three base codons composed of Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Uracil (U).
Written from the 5-’ end to 3’ end.
UAA,UAG & UGA do not code for amino acid. They are called as stop codon or non sense codon.
Characteristics of Genetic Code are:
University: same codon for same amino acid in all living organism.
Specificity: A particular codon will code for the same amino acid,highly specific or unambiguous.
Non overlapping : read from a fixed point as a continuous base sequence.
Degenerate: Most of the amino acids have more than one codon. 61 codons available to code for only 20 amino acids.
DNA :DNA stands for Deoxy Ribonucleic acid.
It’s the genetic code that determines all the characteristics of living organism.
DNA is a double stranded molecule, made up of two chains of nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of three subunits : a sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogen base pair.
Sugar present is Deoxyribose and Nitrogen bases are :
Adenine (A)
Guanine (G)
Cytosine (C)
Thymine (T)
Structure of DNA : Double helical structure of DNA was proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
Features of model of DNA are:
DNA is a right handed double helix, have two polydeoxyribonucleotide chains twisted around each other on a common axis.
Two strands are antiparallel i.e., one strand runs in the 5’ to 3’ direction while the other in 3’ to 5’ direction.
The diameter of helix is 20 A° (2nm).
Each turn of the helix is 34 A° (3.4 nm) with 10 pairs of nucleotides, each pair placed at a distance of about 3.4 A°.
The two strands are held together by Hydrogen bonds formed by complementary base pairs. The A-T pair has 2 hydrogen bonds while G-C pair has 3 hydrogen bonds.
The complementary base pairing in DNA helix proves Chargaff’s rule. The content of adenine equals to that of thymine (A=T) and guanine equals to that of the cytosine (G≡C).

Genetic information, stored in the chromosomes and transmitted to daughter cells through DNA replication, is expressed through transcription to RNA and translation into proteins (polypeptide chains). The pathway of protein synthesis is called translation because the “language” of the nucleotide sequence on the mRNA is translated into the “language” of an amino acid sequence. The process of translation requires a genetic code, through which the information contained in the nucleic acid sequence is expressed to produce a specific sequence of amino acids. Any alteration in the nucleic acid sequence may result in an incorrect amino acid being inserted into the polypeptide chain, potentially causing disease or even death of the organism.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. STRUCTURE OF RNA
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a molecule
that is present in the majority of living
organisms and viruses.
It is made up of nucleotides, which are
ribose sugars attached to nitrogenous
bases and phosphate groups. The
nitrogenous bases include adenine,
guanine, uracil, and cytosine. RNA
mostly exists in the single-stranded
form, but there are special RNA viruses
that are double-stranded
4. STRUCTURES OF DNA AND RNA
In both DNA and RNA, the primary structure refers to the
linear sequence of nucleotides.
a. Primary Structure
5. STRUCTURES OF DNA AND RNA
b. Secondary Structure
DNA Secondary Structure:
DNA's secondary structure primarily involves the double helix.
The two DNA strands are complementary and anti-parallel, meaning they run in
opposite directions.
Adenine (A) forms hydrogen bonds with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with
cytosine (C), resulting in stable base pairs along the helix.
RNA Secondary Structure:
RNA's secondary structure can vary, but it often forms hairpin loops and stem-loop
structures due to intra-strand base pairing.
Like DNA, RNA strands can also form base pairs (A-U and G-C) within the same
strand, leading to secondary structures such as hairpins and loops.
6. STRUCTURES OF DNA AND RNA
DNA Higher-Order Structure:
DNA is packaged into chromatin, which further condenses into chromosomes during
cell division.
The higher-order structure of DNA involves interactions with histone proteins and
other regulatory proteins, influencing gene expression and accessibility of genetic
information.
RNA Higher-Order Structure:
RNA molecules can fold into complex three-dimensional structures due to
interactions between complementary bases and other molecular forces.
The higher-order structure of RNA is crucial for its various functions, including roles in
protein synthesis (e.g., ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA) and regulatory functions (e.g.,
microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs).
c. Higher-Order Structure
7. Different Classes of RNA
This type of RNA functions by
transferring the genetic material
into the ribosomes and pass the
instructions about the type of
proteins, required by the body cells.
Based on the functions, these types
of RNA is called the messenger
RNA. Therefore, the mRNA plays a
vital role in the process of
transcription or during the protein
synthesis process.
Messenger RNA, mRNA Ribosomal RNA, rRNA
The rRNA is the component of
the ribosome and are located
within the in the cytoplasm of a
cell, where ribosomes are found.
In all living cells, the ribosomal
RNA plays a fundamental role in
the synthesis and translation of
mRNA into proteins. The rRNA is
mainly composed of cellular RNA
and are the most predominant
RNA within the cells of all living
beings.
8. tRNA is the smallest of the 3 types of RNA,
possessing around 75-95 nucleotides. tRNAs
are an essential component of translation,
where their main function is the transfer of
amino acids during protein synthesis.
tRNAs have a cloverleaf structure which is
stabilized by strong hydrogen bonds
between the nucleotides. They normally
contain some unusual bases in addition to
the usual 4, which are formed by methylation
of the usual bases. Methyl guanine and
methylcytosine are two examples of
methylated bases.
Transfer RNA, tRNA
10. DNA DNA
REPLICATION
is the biological process of
producing two identical
replicas of DNA from one
original DNA molecule.
requires the presence of a starting site
called a template, a primer, the four
deoxyribonucleotides (dATP, dGTP,
dCTP, dTTP)
the mechanics of DNA replication were originally
characterized in the bacterium E. coli, contains three
distinct enzymes capable of catalyzing the replication
of DNA. Identified as DNA polymerase I, II, III.
it occurs in all living
organisms acting as the
most essential part of
biological inheritance.
11. DNA Polymerases are a group of enzymes that catalyzes
the synthesis of DNA during replication.
DNA POLYMERASE
The main function od DNA polymerase is to duplicate the
DNA content of a cell during cell division. They do so by
adding nucleotides at 3' -OH group of the growing DNA
stand.
12. DNA Polymerase I is coded by polA gene. It is a single polypeptide and
has a role in recombination and repair. It has both 5’→3’ and 3’→5’
exonuclease activity. DNA polymerase Ⅰremoves the RNA primer from
lagging strand by 5’→3’ exonuclease activity and also fills the gap.
DNA Polymerase II is coded by polB gene. It is made up of 7 subunits. Its
main role is in repair and also a backup of DNA polymerase III. It has
3’→5’ exonuclease activity.
DNA Polymerase III is the main enzyme for replication in E.coli. It is
coded by polC gene. The polymerization and processivity rate is
maximum in DNA polymerase III. It also has proofreading 3’→5’
exonuclease activity.
14. Initiation: DNA replication starts at specific sites called origins of
replication. Enzymes called helicases unwind and separate the
DNA strands, creating a replication bubble.
How is DNA Replicated?
Unwinding: Single-strand binding proteins (SSBPs) bind to the
separated DNA strands to keep them from rejoining and
stabilizing the single-stranded DNA.
Priming: Primase synthesizes RNA primers complementary to the
DNA template. These primers provide a starting point for DNA
polymerase to begin synthesis.
15. Elongation: DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides to the growing
DNA strand in a 5' to 3' direction. The leading strand is synthesized
continuously in the direction of the replication fork, while the
lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments
called Okazaki fragments.
How is DNA Replicated?
Okazaki Fragment Processing: DNA polymerase I removes the RNA
primers and replaces them with DNA nucleotides. DNA ligase then
joins the Okazaki fragments together, creating a continuous
lagging strand.
Termination: DNA replication continues bidirectionally until the
entire DNA molecule is replicated. The process terminates when
replication forks from adjacent origins meet.
16.
17. How can DNA polymerase copy both strands of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction
simultaneously?
DNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands
during DNA replication. It can copy both strands of DNA simultaneously
because of the antiparallel nature of DNA strands and the different
mechanisms used for leading and lagging strand synthesis.
Leading Strand Synthesis:
The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3'
direction, which is the same direction as the movement of the
replication fork.
DNA polymerase III synthesizes the leading strand by continuously
adding nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction as the replication fork
opens up.
18. How can DNA polymerase copy both strands of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction
simultaneously?
Lagging Strand Synthesis:
The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short
fragments called Okazaki fragments.
Primase synthesizes RNA primers along the lagging strand
template at intervals.
DNA polymerase III then synthesizes short segments of DNA
(Okazaki fragments) in the 5' to 3' direction, away from the
replication fork.
As the replication fork progresses, DNA polymerase III synthesizes
new Okazaki fragments, following the movement of the fork.
19. How can DNA polymerase copy both strands of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction
simultaneously?
The key to simultaneous synthesis is that while one strand is
synthesized continuously (leading strand), the other strand is
synthesized in short segments (lagging strand). DNA polymerase III,
along with other proteins and enzymes, coordinates these activities to
ensure efficient and accurate DNA replication.
21. DNA repair ensures the survival of a species by enabling
parental DNA to be inherited as faithfully as possible by
offspring. It also preserves the health of an individual.
Mutations in the genetic code can lead to cancer and other
genetic diseases.
Repair of DNA
22. Repair of DNA
There are several mechanisms cells use to repair damaged DNA:
Direct Reversal: This mechanism involves the direct reversal of DNA damage
without cutting out any nucleotides. For example, photolyase can repair UV-
induced thymine dimers by using light energy to break the dimer bond.
Base Excision Repair (BER): BER is used to repair small, non-helix-
distorting lesions such as damaged or incorrect bases, or single-strand
breaks. It involves the following steps:
A DNA glycosylase recognizes and removes the damaged base,
creating an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
AP endonuclease cleaves the DNA backbone at the AP site.
DNA polymerase fills in the gap with the correct nucleotides.
DNA ligase seals the nick in the DNA backbone.
23. Repair of DNA
There are several mechanisms cells use to repair damaged DNA:
Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER): NER deals with a wide range of
DNA lesions, including bulky lesions caused by UV radiation or
chemical agents. The steps involved in NER are:
Recognition of the damaged DNA region by a complex of
proteins (XPC-HR23B in global genome NER or RNA
polymerase II in transcription-coupled NER).
Excision of a stretch of nucleotides containing the damaged
site by endonucleases (XPF-ERCC1 and XPG).
DNA polymerase fills in the gap, and DNA ligase seals the nick.
24. Repair of DNA
There are several mechanisms cells use to repair damaged DNA:
Mismatch Repair (MMR): MMR corrects errors that occur
during DNA replication and escape the proofreading activity
of DNA polymerases. The steps include:
Recognition of mismatched base pairs by MMR proteins.
Excision of the incorrect nucleotide-containing strand.
Resynthesis of the excised segment by DNA polymerase.
DNA ligase seals the nick.
25. Repair of DNA
There are several mechanisms cells use to repair damaged DNA:
Double-Strand Break Repair (DSBR): DSBR mechanisms
repair breaks that affect both strands of the DNA helix. Two
main DSBR mechanisms are:
Non-homologous End Joining (NHEJ): Joins broken DNA
ends together, often leading to the loss or addition of
nucleotides at the repair site.
Homologous Recombination (HR): Uses an undamaged
homologous DNA sequence as a template to repair the
broken strand accurately.
