Presentation Structure:

1. Introduction (Why This Matters):


o Start with the central dogma: DNA → RNA → Protein.
o Explain the importance of these processes for life: heredity, gene expression, and
cellular function.
o Briefly introduce the three main topics: DNA replication, transcription/RNA
processing, and protein synthesis.
2. DNA Replication, Repair, and Recombination:
o DNA Replication:
 Explain the semi-conservative nature of replication.
 Highlight key enzymes: helicase, DNA polymerase, ligase.
 Differentiate between leading and lagging strand synthesis.
 Visual aids: Diagrams of the replication fork.
o DNA Repair:
 Explain why DNA repair is crucial (preventing mutations).
 Briefly describe different repair mechanisms (e.g., mismatch repair,
nucleotide excision repair).
 Visual aids: simple diagrams displaying the concept of damage and repair.
o DNA Recombination:
 Explain the role of recombination in genetic diversity.
 Briefly describe homologous recombination.
 Visual aids: Diagrams of crossing over.
3. Transcription and RNA Processing:
o Transcription:
 Explain the process of DNA being transcribed into RNA.
 Highlight the role of RNA polymerase.
 Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription.
 Visual aids: Diagrams showing RNA polymerase transcribing DNA.
o RNA Processing (Eukaryotic):
 Explain the importance of 5' capping, splicing (intron removal), and 3'
polyadenylation.
 Explain alternative splicing and its significance.
 Visual aids: Diagrams of pre-mRNA processing.
4. Protein Synthesis (Translation):
o Translation:
 Explain how mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.
 Highlight the roles of ribosomes, tRNA, and codons.
 Describe the stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
 Visual aids: Diagrams of ribosomes and tRNA interacting with mRNA.
5. Conclusion:
o Summarize the key processes and their interconnectedness.
o Emphasize the importance of these processes for cellular function and life.
o Q&A.
