DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid
A long molecule that looks like a twisted ladder made up of four types of simple units and the sequence of these units carries genetic information.
Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).
DNA is the most important genetic material. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. In this presentation, you can see the basics of how the DNA molecule is made, and what is the entire structure in detail.
The contents of the presentation are as follows:
1. History of DNA
2. Structure of DNA
3. Watson and Crick Model
4. Features of DNA
5. Types of DNA
“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."

EVER WONDERED WHY DNA IS GENETIC MATERIAL INSTEAD OF RNA OR PROTEIN?
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).

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Definitions
Gene = portion of DNA that encodes one protein
Genetic code = 3 letter DNA sequence that encodes for 1 amino acid
Genome = complete set of genetic instructions for an organism
Human genome = 46 chromosomes in diploid pairs
4. DNA encodes the genetic instructions for protein synthesis
It is a double-stranded helix
Strand 1
The two strands run in opposite directions
and therefore are anti-parallel.
Strand 2
The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds
5. Properties of DNA
DNA contains 4 nitrogenous bases
Adenine (A)
Thymine (T)
Cytosine (C)
Guanine (G)
Adenine & Guanine are purines
2 organic rings
Thymine & Cytosine are pyrimidines
1 organic ring
Purine pairs with Pyrimidine
Complimentary Base Pairs
A pairs with T
G pairs with C
8. Overview of DNA Replication
DNA replication occurs during S-phase (within interphase)
The original DNA strand is used as a template to synthesize a new
complimentary DNA strand.
DNA replication is catalyzed by the enzyme DNA Polymerase
DNA replication is Semi-Conservative – One strand of the replicated
DNA is new, the other is the original molecule.
