6. Reviewing of the Past Lesson

“What are the 2 major phases of the cell cycle??” “Interphase and M phase”
“Enumerate the 3 subphases of Interphase.”
“G1, S Phase, G2”
“Describe the size of the cell during G1.”
“The cell grows larger in size or
the cell grows because the
organelles are duplicated”
“Which subphases of the interphase does the gets DNA replicated or synthesized?” “S (synthesis phase”

“What happens during G2?” “The cell continues to grow as it

prepares for the cell division.”

7. Unlocking of Difficult Terms

1. Mitosis Mitosis is the phase of the cell
cycle where the nucleus of a cell
is divided into two nuclei with
an equal amount of genetic
material in both the daughter
nuclei.

ENGAGE
“Describe this picture class.”
“Manny
Pacquaio is
wounded
ma’am”
“Manny
Pacquiao has a
bleeding wound
“And what about this picture class?” near his eyes”

“His wound has

healed ma’am”

The healing of wounds involves various types of cells working together to repair and restore damaged
tissues.
“What have you observed in this picture class?”

“Nadine Lustre
grew up from
being a child to
a beautiful
woman.”
 “A growing
plants Ma’am.”
From the moment we are born, we are growing and our cells are dividing rapidly for us to grow. For
today’s lesson, let’s talk about Mitosis.

EXPLORE
The teacher will play a short video. The students will be grouped into four by the teacher. Each group shall receive an
enveloped that contains aa empty figure of one of the stages of mitosis, chromosome cut-outs, and a marker.

Instructions: Each group will be randomly assigned a stage of the Mitosis. In the empty figure, place the chromosome and
draw the spindle fibers correctly according to which stage of the Mitosis your group is assigned. 5 minutes will be
allocated for you to finish the task.

RUBRIC:
 Correctly placing the chromosomes inside the provided figure: 5 points
 Correctly drawing the spindle fibers inside the provided figure: 5 points
 Presentation: 10 points

EXPLAIN
DISCUSSION OF THE ACTIVITY:

ELABORATE
“In the Cell Cycle, after the cell went through Interphase, it will then proceed to Cell
Division process. There are two types of Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis.

“What is Mitosis class?” “Mitosis is the phase of the cell

cycle where the nucleus of a
cell is divided into two nuclei
with an equal amount of genetic
material in both the daughter
nuclei.”
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell divides into two identical copies of
itself.

“Enumerate the four stages of Mitosis.” “Prophase, Metaphase,

Anaphase and Telophase.”
So just remember the mnemonics: PMAT. P(prophase), M(metaphase), A(Anaphase),
and T(Telophase) class.

“What happens during prophase class?”

“During prophase stage, the
repeated coiling of the
chromosome occurs resulting to
its thicker and shorter structure,
the nuclear membrane breaks
down, the two chromatids are
still attached to the centromere.
Prophase is the first step of
mitosis and meiosis. It is when
the chromosomes begin to
condense and become visible
under the microscope. The
chromosomes in the prophase
stage are made up of two sister
chromatids that are identical to
each other due to the replication
of DNA during S phase.”

“The centrosomes, which are responsible for organizing the spindle fibers, move to
opposite poles of the cell.

“Metaphase”
“What is the next phase after prophase class?”

" During metaphase, the

“What have you observed during Metaphase class?” chromosomes align at the
equatorial plane or at the center.
Each spindle fiber from both
centrosomes connects to each
chromosome through its
kinetochore.”

“Very good! During metaphase the chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell,
called the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers, which are attached to the centromeres of
each chromosome, ensure that the chromosomes are properly aligned and can be
separated correctly. Just remember “M” for middle because the chromosomes align at
the middle during metaphase.”
“The paired centromeres of
“What happens to the chromosome during Anaphase class?” each chromosome separate
towards the opposite poles of
the cells. This results in the
formation of two identical sets
of chromosomes at opposite
poles of the cell. For you to
easily remember this class, just
think of “A” for away because
the chromosome is being
divided and separated away
from each other during
anaphase.”

“Very good, during this stage, the sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome
separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.”

“Telophase”
“What does the T for PMAT means?”
 “During telophase, the
“What occurs in the Telophase?” chromosomes reach the
opposite poles of the cell, and
the nuclear envelope begins to
reform around each set of
chromosomes. The
chromosomes begin to uncoil
and return to their normal,
diffuse form. The spindle fibers
disassemble, and the cell begins
to prepare for cytokinesis.”

“Mitosis/Meiosis and
“M Phase undergoes two important processes class. What are those processes?” Cytokinesis.”

“Nucleus divides ma’am”

“Recall our discussion about the Cell Cycle. What happens during the Mitotic/Mitosis
phase?”

“The cell’s cytoplasm divides

“Very good! And how about in Cytokinesis? What happens during cytokinesis?” ma’am”

“Exactly! Cytokinesis or the division of the cytoplasm forms two separate daughter
cells immediately after mitosis. By the end of the mitosis class, two diploid daughter
cells that are identical to one another are formed.”

The teacher will play a video about mitosis hand motions to help student remember the stages of mitosis more.

8. Application

“What would happen if mitosis skipped metaphase” “If mitosis skipped metaphase, then it would be able to
make the daughter cells different from the parent cells.
They would no longer be identical which would create a
mutated cell.”

“What do you think will happen if the number of “If the chromosomes don't split into equal halves, the new
chromosomes is not equally distributed during cell cells can have an extra chromosome (47 total) or have a
division?” missing chromosome (45 total).”

9. Generalization

Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus of a

“What is Mitosis?”
cell is divided into two nuclei with an equal amount of
genetic material in both the daughter nuclei.

“Enumerate the four stages of Mitosis.” “Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.”

“What happens during prophase?” “During prophase stage, the repeated coiling of the
chromosome occurs resulting to its thicker and shorter
structure, the nuclear membrane breaks down, the two
chromatids are still attached to the centromere.”
“What happens during metaphase?”
 “Each fibers binds to a protein called Kinetochore at the
centromere. Chromosomes align to the central metaphase
plate.”
“What happens during anaphase?”

“The chromosome separates and move towards the opposite

poles of the cell.
A cleavage furrow is produced due to the opposite pull of
the centrioles.”
“What happens during telophase?”
“Spindle fibers disappear and releases the chromatids while
nuclear envelope reappear.”
