My Writing Notes

ESSAY WRITING Title: Intelligent Machines Machines have taken a huge role in our day-to-day lives. They can either affect us in a good way or in a bad way. Granted, machines have impacted many people in the workplace but they help us finish the jobs. There are many ups and downs to the development of machines. Some people have become so dependent on machines they start to lose their “humanity”. Machines can take away the personal aspect of life. For example, we lose basic courtesy, respect, and tolerance for people due to using machines so much. Some machines that could make that happen are; cell phones, computers, and video games. When people purchase one of these machines they usually are on it and depend on it all the time. Due to the lack of self-motivation through machines we could lose our common courtesy. In the workplace, machines have effected jobs dramatically. They can perform at low-skill repetitive jobs and at high-speed precise jobs. They mostly are better than huma...

My Microbiology Notes 2

Lect 7  Microbial genetics 1. Genetic Material DNA & RNA DNA=deoxyribonucleic acid RNA=ribonucleic acid  Basic building blocks: Nucleotides Phosphate group Pentose sugar Nitrogenous base 2. Structure of DNA  Double stranded (double helix)   Chains of nucleotides   5’ to 3’ (strands are anti-parallel)   Complimentary base pairing  ◦ A-T ◦ G-C #Prokaryotic chromosome 3. DNA Replication  Semiconservative ◦ Replication fork  Single origin  Bidirectional  2 Leading strands  2 Lagging strands  Enzymes  Helicases  DNA polymerases 5’ to 3’  I for leading strand  II RNA primer  III for lagging strand  DNA ligase  DNA gyrase  DNA is unzipped by unwinding enzyme helicase  RNA primer join at the replication site  This primer gives signal to enzyme DNA polymerase to synthesize new DNA strand • One new DNA strand (Leading strand) is synthesized continuously in the 5’ 3’ direction  • In contrast, the lagging strand is synthesized...
