CYCLE
Okay. Thank you for the amazing answers class. Later on, we will know what is the connection of this
cycle and how vital it is to human life.
Directions:
1. Group the class into 2 groups. Choose a leader each group and right the name of their members in
a ¼ sheet of paper.
2. The teacher will give each group a card-stick that contain phases of cell cycle.
3. Each group will assign a member to hold the stick card and will provide a statement that describe
how that certain phase works. Explanation should not exceed in 2 sentences.
4. All representative chosen per group will form a cycle/circle and arrange themselves according to
how cell cycle works. They can base their answers on their modules.
5. Students must be creative on how they will insert the checkpoints per phases.
6. Students will be given 10 minutes to prepare and 2 minutes to present.

begins.
NOTE:
In instances when the cell cycle checkpoints detect abnormalities, the cell is instructed not to
proceed to the next stage but instead repair the abnormality.
When the abnormality or damage is beyond repair, the cell undergoes programmed cell death,
called apoptosis.
These mechanisms ae important to ensure that all daughter cells produced are of normal structure
and function.
However, there are cases when the cell cycle checkpoints are not fully functioning and thus the
quality of the cells produced are not properly controlled.
Such malfunctions may result in unregulated cell division, which might lead to cancer.
Uncorrected mistakes in the cell cycle, including DNA damage and mutations or improper
chromosomal segregation and aneuploidy, result in genomic instability, a distinct characteristic of
cancer.
Cancer – an abnormal growth of cells that has malignant characteristics. Cancer cells fail to respond to
the signals that regulate the growth of cells. They can spread throughout the body; thus, the normal
functions are distributed causing serious medical problems and eventually death.
