Arabinose Operon is a self-regulatory sequence of genes used by material to metabolize a five-carbon sugar called arabinose when there is a deficiency of glucose in the environment.
SOS repair
a system that repairs severely damaged bases in DNA by base excision and replacement, even if there is no template to guide base selection. This process is a last resort for repair and is often the cause of mutations.
One of the first plausible models to account for the preceding observations was
formulated by Robin Holliday.
The key features of the Holliday model are the formation of heteroduplex DNA; the
creation of a cross bridge; its migration along the two heteroduplex strands,
termed branch migration; the occurrence of mismatch repair; and the
subsequent resolution, or splicing, of the intermediate structure to yield different
typesof recombinant molecules.

please explain transcription and translation
Solution
Ans:
Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, called a
messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where it
directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes. Translation is the process of translating the
sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids during protein
synthesis. The genetic code describes the relationship between the sequence of base pairs in a
gene and the corresponding amino acid sequence that it encodes. In the cell cytoplasm, the
ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA in groups of three bases to assemble the protein.
Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the
information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-
messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes. The process
relies on Watson-Crick base pairing, and the resultant single strand of RNA is the reverse-
complement of the original DNA sequence. The pre-messenger RNA is then \"edited\" to
produce the desired mRNA molecule in a process called RNA splicing.
Formation of pre-messenger RNA
The mechanism of transcription has parallels in that of DNA replication. As with DNA
replication, partial unwinding of the double helix must occur before transcription can take place,
and it is the RNA polymerase enzymes that catalyze this process.
Unlike DNA replication, in which both strands are copied, only one strand is transcribed. The
strand that contains the gene is called the sense strand, while the complementary strand is the
antisense strand. The mRNA produced in transcription is a copy of the sense strand, but it is the
antisense strand that is transcribed.
Ribonucleotide triphosphates (NTPs) align along the antisense DNA strand, with Watson-Crick
base pairing (A pairs with U). RNA polymerase joins the ribonucleotides together to form a pre-
messenger RNA molecule that is complementary to a region of the antisense DNA strand.
Transcription ends when the RNA polymerase enzyme reaches a triplet of bases that is read as a
\"stop\" signal. The DNA molecule re-winds to re-form the double helix.
RNA splicing
The pre-messenger RNA thus formed contains introns which are not required for protein
synthesis. The pre-messenger RNA is chopped up to remove the introns and create messenger
RNA (mRNA) in a process called RNA splicing
Alternative splicing
In alternative splicing, individual exons are either spliced or included, giving rise to several
different possible mRNA products. Each mRNA product codes for a different protein isoform;
these protein isoforms differ in their peptide sequence and therefore their biological activity. It is
estimated that up to 60% of human gene products undergo alternative splicing.
Alternative splicing contributes to protein diversity a single gene transcript (RNA) can have

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. What is Translation?
Genetic information contained within the
order of nucleotides in messenger RNA
(mRNA) is interpreted to generate the linear
sequences of amino acids in proteins. This
process is known as translation
3. • Translation is among the most highly conserved across all organisms
and among the most energetically costly for the cell. In rapidly
growing bacterial cells, up to 80% of the cell’s energy and 50% of the
cell’s dry weight are dedicated to protein synthesis.
• Indeed, the synthesis of a single protein requires the coordinated
action of well over 100 proteins and RNAs.
• Translation is a much more formidable challenge in information
transfer than the transcription of DNA into RNA.
• For example, the hydrophobic side chains of the amino acids alanine,
valine, leucine, and isoleucine cannot form hydrogen bonds with the
amino and keto groups of the nucleotide bases. Likewise, of three
bases of RNA could form surfaces with unique affinities for the
aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.
4. Paul C. Zamecnik and Mahlon B. Hoagland showed that before their incorporation
into proteins, amino acids are attached to a class of
RNA molecules (representing 15% of all cellular RNA). These RNAs are
called transfer RNAs (tRNAs) because their attached amino acid is subsequently
transferred to the growing polypeptide chain.
5. The machinery responsible for translating the language of mRNAs into the language
of proteins is composed of four primary components:
mRNAs
tRNAs,
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and
the ribosome.
6. The mRNA provides the information that must be interpreted
by the translation machinery and is the template for translation.
The tRNAs provide the physical interface between the amino acids being
added to the growing polypeptide chain and the codons in the mRNA.
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases couple amino acids to specific tRNAs that
recognize the appropriate codon.
The ribosome multimegadalton machine composed of both RNA and protein.
The ribosome coordinates the correct recognition of the mRNA by each tRNA
and catalyzes peptide-bond formation between the growing polypeptide chain
and the amino acid attached to the selected tRNA.
7. The protein-coding region of the mRNA consists of an ordered series of three
nucleotide long units called codons. This specify the order of amino acids.
8.
9. MESSENGER RNA
The protein coding region of each mRNA is composed of a contiguous, non-overlapping string of codons
called an open reading frame (ORF).
Translation starts at the 5’ end of the ORF and proceeds one codon at a time to the 3’ end.
The first and last codons of an ORF are known as the start and stop codons.
In bacteria, the start codon is usually 5’-AUG-3’, but 5’-GUG-3’and sometimes even 5’-UUG-3’are also
used. Eukaryotic cells always use 5’-AUG-3’ as the start codon.
The start codon has two important functions.
First, it specifies the first amino acid to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.
Second, it defines the reading frame for all subsequent codons.
Stop codons, of which there are three (5’-UAG-3’, 5’-UGA-3’, and 5’-UAA-3’), define the end of the ORF and
signal termination of polypeptide synthesis.
10. mRNAs contain at least one ORF. The number of ORFs per mRNA is different
between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotic mRNAs almost always contain a
single ORF.
prokaryotic mRNAs frequently contain two or more ORFs and hence can encode
multiple polypeptide chains. mRNAs containing multiple ORFs are known as
polycistronic mRNAs, and those encoding a single ORF are known as monocistronic
mRNAs.
Polycistronic mRNA
Monocistronic mRNA
11.
12. Translation to occur, the ribosome must be recruited to the mRNA.
Many prokaryotes have a short sequence upstream (5’) of start codon called
Ribosome binding site (RBS). It is also called as Shine Dalgarno sequance.
This RBS region has a complementarity with core region of 16s rRNA. Core
of this region of the 16SrRNAhas the sequence 5’-CCUCCU-3’.
The extent of complementarity and the spacing between the RBS and the start
codon has a strong influence on how actively a particular ORF is translated:
high complementarity and proper spacing promote active translation, whereas
limited complementarity and/or poor spacing generally support lower levels of
translation.
In a polycistronic mRNA the ORF of one sequance overlaps with the 3’ end of
the upstream sequance. Thus, a ribosome that has just completed translating
the upstream ORF is positioned to begin translating from the start codon for
the downstream ORF.
This phenomenon of linked translation between overlapping ORFs is known
as Translational coupling.
13.
14. tRNA molecules, acts as adaptors between codons and the amino acids they specify.
There are many types of tRNA molecules, but each is attached to a specific amino
acid, and each recognizes a particular codon, or codons, in the mRNA.
tRNA molecules are between 75 and 95 ribonucleotides in length.
All tRNAs have certain features in common.
1. all tRNAs end at the 3’ terminus with the sequence 5’-CCA-3’. the 3’end of this
sequence is the site that is attached to the cognate amino acid.
2. presence of several unusual bases in their primary structure.
For example, pseudouridine (ψU) is derived from uridine by an isomerization in
which the site of attachment of the uracil base to the ribose is switched from the
nitrogen at ring position 1 to the carbon at ring position 5.
15. tRNA molecules show a characteristic and highly conserved pattern of single-stranded and
doublestranded regions (secondary structure) that can be illustrated as a cloverleaf.
• The acceptor stem, so-named because it is the site of
attachment of the amino acid, is formed by pairing
between the 5’ and 3’ ends of the tRNA molecule. The
5’-CCA-3’ sequence at the extreme 3’end of the
molecule in a single-strand region that protrudes from
this double-strand stem.
• The ψU loop is so-named because of the characteristic
presence of the unusual base CU in the loop. The
modified base is often found within the sequence 5’-
TCUCG-3’.
16. • The D loop takes its name from the characteristic presence of dihydrouridines in the
loop.
• The anticodon loop, as its name implies, contains the anticodon, a
three-nucleotide-long sequence that is responsible for recognizing
the codon by base pairing with the mRNA.
• The variable loop sits between the anticodon loop and the ψU loop
and, as its name implies, varies in size from 3 to 21 bases.
17.
18. tRNA molecules to which an amino acid is attached are said to be charged, and tRNAs
that lack an amino acid are said to be uncharged.
acyl linkage between the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 2’- or 3’-hydroxyl
group of the adenosine nucleotide that protrudes from the acceptor stem at the 3’ end of
the tRNA.
This linkage is very significant in protein synthesis. the energy released when this acyl
bond is broken is coupled to the formation of the peptide bonds that link amino acids to
each other in polypeptide chains.
19. Aminoacyl- tRNA synthetases attach an amino acid to a tRNA in two enzymatic steps:
1. Adenylylation 2. tRNA charging
1. In Adenylylation the amino acid reacts with ATP to become adenylated with the
concomitant release of pyrophosphate. Adenylation refers to transfer of AMP, the
principal driving force for the adenylation reaction is the subsequent hydrolysis of
pyrophosphate by pyrophosphatase .
2. In tRNA charging adenylylated amino acid, which remains tightly bound to the
synthetase, reacts with tRNA. This reaction results in the transfer of the amino acid to
the 3’ end of the tRNA via the 2’- or 3'-hydroxyl and the release of AMP.
21. • The specificity determinants are clustered at two distant sites on the molecule: the
acceptor stem and the anticodon loop.
• The acceptor stem is an especially important determinant for the specificity of tRNA
synthetase recognition. In some cases, changing a single base in the acceptor stem
(known as the discriminator base) is sufficient to convert the recognition specificity of a
tRNA from one synthetase to another.
• But some times this specificity doesn’t work with
certain amino acids.
It is the free energy released during the cleavage of high
Energy ester bond that decides its integration of
Amino acid to the polypeptide chain.
22.
23. • The ribosome is the macromolecular machine that directs the synthesis of proteins.
• Translation takes place at a rate of only two to 20 amino acids per second.which
infers 60 nucleotides of mRNA per second. This is similar to the rate of 50–100
nucleotides per second synthesized by RNA polymerase.
• In prokaryotes, the transcription machinery and the translation machinery are
located in the same compartment. Thus, the ribosome can commence translation of
the mRNA as it emerges from the RNA polymerase.
Polypepetide chain
24. In eukaryotes translation occurs in separate compartment, transcription in nucleus and
translation in cytoplasm. Because of this lack of coupling translation occurs leisurely in
eukaryotes. i.e 2 - 4 amino acids per second.
Translation in eukaryotes
25. • The ribosome is composed of two subassemblies ofRNA and protein known as the large
and small subunits.
• The large subunit contains the peptidyl transferase center, which is responsible for the
formation of peptide bonds.
• The small subunit contains the decoding center in which charged tRNAs read or
“decode” the codon units of the mRNA.
• Each subunit is named after its sedimentation velocity. And it is measured in the value of
Svedberg units(s). Larger the s value greater the sedimentation velocity.
26. • The sequence of association and dissasociation of large and small subunits involved in
the process of translation is called Ribosome cycle.
27. • polypeptide chains have intrinsic polarities
• The experiment conducted by Howard Dintzis found that new amino acid must be
added to the carboxy terminus of growing polypeptide chain.
• The ribosome catalyzes a single chemical reaction the formation of a peptide bond.
This reaction occurs between the amino acid residue at the carboxy -terminal end of
the growing polypeptide and the incoming amino acid to be added to the chain.
• The actual substrates for each round of amino acid addition are two charged species
of tRNAs—an aminoacyl-tRNA and a peptidyl-tRNA.
28. • The bond between the aminoacyl-tRNA and the amino acid is not broken during the
formation of the next peptide bond. Instead, the bond between the peptidyl-tRNA and
the growing polypeptide chain is broken as the growing chain is attached to the amino
group of the amino acid attached to the aminoacyl-tRNA to form a new peptide bond.
29. • To perform the peptidyl transferase reaction, the ribosome must be able to bind at
least two tRNAs simultaneously. In fact, the ribosome contains three tRNA-binding
sites, called the A-, P-, and E-sites.
• A-site is the binding site for the aminoacylated-tRNA,
• P-site is the binding site for the peptidyl-tRNA,
• E-site is the binding site for the tRNA that is released after the growing polypeptide
chain has been transferred to the aminoacyl-tRNA.
• Each tRNA-binding site is formed at the interface between the large and the small
subunits of the ribosome. In this way, the bound tRNAs can span the distance
between the peptidyl transferase center in the large subunit and the decoding center
in the small subunit.
