Fourth Wave of Coral Reef Bleaching
Tag: GS-3 Environment
In News: As per the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the globe is teetering on the brink of a fourth extensive coral bleaching episode
Understanding Corals and Coral Reefs
- Coral Basics
- Corals are symbiotic animals (polyps) living with tiny algae called zooxanthellae.
- Mutual exchange: Algae provide food and oxygen; corals offer a secure habitat.
- Coral Reefs
- Limestone structures formed by countless coral animals.
- Predominantly found in tropical climates.
- Coral Bleaching and Concerns
- Definition: Stressful conditions (high temperatures, pollution) lead corals to expel zooxanthellae.
- Consequence: Loss of color, turning white (“bleaching”) and inability to survive.
- Recovery: Removal of stressors allows zooxanthellae to return, aiding coral recovery.
- Importance of Coral Reefs
- Habitat and food source for diverse marine species.
- Coastal protection from erosion and storms.
- Crucial role in climate regulation by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide.
- Valuable display of biodiversity and natural beauty.
NOAA’s Findings on Impending Coral Bleaching Event
- Fourth Mass Coral Bleaching Event
- Historical occurrences: 1998, 2010, 2014.
- Global significance: Widespread bleaching in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans.
- Previous Bleaching Impact
- 2014-2017: Global event led to a significant loss, especially the Great Barrier Reef.
- Approximately 15% of the world’s reefs experienced major coral die-offs.
- Worsening Situation
- Current year’s outlook: Indications of a more severe event.
- Example: Caribbean witnessed its worst coral bleaching after the Northern Hemisphere summer.
- Climate Factors
- El Niño influence: Warmer-ocean waters linked to coral bleaching.
- Climate change impact: Record-breaking 12-month period with an average temperature over 1.5 degrees Celsius.
- Tipping point: Scientists estimate a 1.5C rise could lead to mass coral die-offs, risking 90% of the world’s coral reefs.

RAD51
Tag: GS-3 Science and Tech.
In News: The RAD51 protein has been recognized by researchers as a crucial factor in inhibiting the occurrence of DNA re-replication.
RAD51 Recombinase
- Overview
- RAD51 recombinase, encoded by the RAD51 gene, is a crucial protein involved in homologous recombination and DNA repair processes within cells.
- Functional Role
- RAD51 plays a vital role in homologous recombination by locating and invading homologous DNA sequences, facilitating accurate and timely DNA repair.
- Causes of DNA Breaks
- DNA breaks can result from natural, medical radiation, environmental exposures, or chromosome exchanges during cell division preparation.
- Repair Process Initiation
- RAD51 protein binds to DNA breaks, forming a protein sheath around the damaged site, serving as a fundamental step in the DNA repair process.
- Nuclear Interactions
- In the nucleus of normal cells, RAD51 interacts with proteins like BRCA1 and BRCA2 to collaboratively repair damaged DNA.
- BRCA2 Regulation
- BRCA2 regulates RAD51 activity by transporting it to DNA damage sites within the nucleus, contributing to effective repair mechanisms.
- BRCA1 Interaction
- While the interaction between BRCA1 and RAD51 is not fully understood, research suggests that BRCA1 may also activate RAD51 in response to DNA damage.
- Stability Maintenance
- RAD51, BRCA1, and BRCA2 collectively contribute to DNA repair, preserving the stability of a cell’s genetic information.
Homologous Recombination
- Definition
- Homologous recombination is a genetic recombination process where similar or identical molecules of nucleic acids exchange genetic information.
- Repair Mechanism
- Cells utilize homologous recombination, particularly homologous recombinational repair (HRR), to accurately mend double-strand breaks in DNA.
- Genetic Variation
- During meiosis, homologous recombination creates new DNA sequence combinations, fostering genetic variation among offspring and supporting evolutionary adaptation.
- Horizontal Gene Transfer
- Homologous recombination is instrumental in horizontal gene transfer, allowing the exchange of genetic material between different strains and species of bacteria and viruses.
- Antibiotic Resistance Spread
- Horizontal gene transfer through homologous recombination is a primary mechanism for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations.
