SCIENCE TEACHER
Objectives:
1. identify and describe the stages of cell cycle;
2. identify and give the highlights of each stages of
mitosis;
3. to differentiate mitosis and meiosis;
4. and create a concept map showing the relationship
between the stages of cell cycle and cell division.
Learning Task 1: Fact or Bluff
Direction:
Say Fact if the phrase or diagram is

correct and Bluff if the phrase or diagram
is incorrect.
Cell Cycle
Learning Task 2:
Terminology
Cell division is the process in

which one cell, called the
parent cell, divides to form
new cells, referred to as
daughter cells
Chromosome- an
organized
structure of DNA
and protein found
in cells.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
(DNA)- like a recipe
book which holds the
instructions for making
all the proteins in our
bodies.
Organelle - a
specialized sub-unit
within a cell that has a
specific function such
as; mitochondrion,
golgi bodies,
lysosome, vacuole,
etc.
Karyokinesis- division of the
nucleus.
Cytokinesis- division of the
cytoplasm.
Diploid number (2N)- the cell
contains two sets of
chromosomes, half from the
father and another half from the
mother.

1. What are the main stages of
Cell Cycle?
2. Briefly describe the stages of
Cell cycle.
1. The cell cycle has three main stages.
The interphase, mitosis and
cytokinesis.
2. In Interphase the cell grows in size
performs normal functions and
copies its DNA. Interphase is divided
into 3 stages or phases the G1, S and
G2. As soon as the a cell divides, it
enters the G1, cell grows, performs
normal functions and prepares to
copy its DNA. During S stage the cell
copies its DNA. The G2 stage is the
period when the cell prepares for the
division of its nucleus.
3. In Mitosis the cell nucleus divides,
and the chromosomes separate into
the two nuclei.
4. During Cytokinesis the cytoplasm of
the cell divides, forming two
daughter cells.
5. At the end of the cell cycle, cell
division is complete. The original cell
has become two Daughter cells.
6. The Cell Cycle has three main stages,
the Interphase, wherein the cell
grows in size, performs normal
function and copies its DNA; Mitosis,
wherein the cell nucleus divides and
the chromosomes separate into two
nucleus and the Cytokinesis; wherein
the cytoplasm of the cell divides
forming two daughter cells.
Learning Task 3: The Cell Cycle
Direction: Label the stages of the cell cycle. Write the stage being described in
the following important events.
Mitosis
Describe the different stages of mitosis.
Mitotic Phase or Mitosis can be easily remembered with the
acronym PMAT.
Prophase
Chromosomes become
visible, centrioles
begin moving to
opposite ends of the
cell.
Metaphase
Spindle fibers align the

chromosomes at the
equatorial plate or along the
middle of the cell. This
helps to ensure that in the
next phase, when the
chromosomes are separated,
each new cell will receive
one copy of each
chromosome.
Anaphase
The paired chromosomes or

sister chromatids separate
and move to opposite sides
of the cell.
Telophase
Chromatids arrive at
opposite poles of cell, and
new nuclear membranes
form around the daughter
nuclei (karyokinesis) to form
two daughter cells as the
cytoplasm divides into two
(cytokinesis).
Cytokinesis
cytoplasm divides into two

(cytokinesis).

Learning Task 4: Mitotic Division
Directions: Illustrate or draw the model the stages of mitosis and write its description on
the table.
Learning Task 5: Mitosis and Me

Direction: The following pictures is a nucleated blood cell that is undergoing cell division. Read each description and
take a closer look at each of them. Identify the stage of cell cycle shows in each picture and arrange them
chronologically. Write only the number of the correct sequence on the space provided.
Mitosis Facts to Remember:
➢ It involves the division of body or somatic cells
such as; bone cells, blood cells, skin cells, (all cells
of the body except egg and sperm cell).
➢ Its purpose is for body growth and repair.
➢ One parent cell produces two daughter cells
identical to the parent cell.
➢ The parent cell has a diploid number (2N) of
chromosomes as well as each daughter cell. The
chromosome number will not change.
Learning Task 6: Wrap Up
Directions: To summarize what you have learned today, complete the graphic organizer
below of the Cell Cycle and Its Stages. Follow the correct sequence of each substages.

 Reflection: The learners will write their personal insights about
the lesson in their notebook, journal, or portfolio same as below.
