CELL CYCLE AND

MITOSIS Lesson 4
Objectives
• Identify and differentiate the
phases of the cell cycle and
their control points
• Describe and differentiate
the stages of mitosis
• Explain the significance and
applications of mitosis
• Locate the stages of mitosis
using the microscope
• Construct a diagram of the
various stages of mitosis and
meiosis
Motivation
Review
Think....
• What are the
important physiological
activities of the cell?
EUKARYOTIC CELL
DIVISION
• DNA found on chromosomes
located in nucleus of cell
• Cell cycle continuous
process
– Cells grow – DNA replicated
– Organelles duplicated –
Divide to form daughter cells –
2 Main steps:
1: Mitosis - Nucleus divides 2:
Cytokinesis - Cytoplasm
divide, forming 2 cells
Each new daughter cell is
genetically identical
to parent cell
Video Presentation
• “Cell Cycle and Cell
Division”
Synthesis
1. Cell Division:
• involves the distribution of
identical genetic material or
DNA to two daughter cells
• cell division functions in
reproduction, growth, and
repair 2. Mitosis is the
process by which new cells
are
generated. 3. Cell Cycle
represents all phases in the
life of a cell. 4. Checkpoint is
a critical control point in the
Cell Cycle where ‘stop’ and
‘go-ahead’ signals can
regulate the cell cycle

5. Mitosis is nuclear division
• the process by which the
nucleus divides to produce
two new nuclei
• results in two daughter cells
that are genetically identical
to each other and to the
parental cell from which they
came
6. Cytokinesis is the division
of the cytoplasm. Both
mitosis and cytokinesis last
for around one to two hours.
Daughter cells are genetically
identical

1. chromosomes visible
(sister chromatids) 2.
centrioles migrate to the
poles (only in animals) 3.

PROPHASE
1. chromosomes line up on
the equator of the cell 2.
spindles attach to
centromeres
1. sister chromatids
separate 2. centromeres
divide 3. sister chromatids
move to opposite poles
1. chromosomes uncoil •
now chromatin 2. nuclear
membranes reform 3.
spindle disappears
-Occurs at end of Mitosis
--division of the cytoplasm
to form 2 new daughter
cells --organelles are
divided -Daughter cells are
genetically identical

PRACTICE
1. Divide the class into four
groups. In the race each
group will be assigned in their
own stations where they will
have to locate and identify
the stages of the cell cycle. 2.
The groups will race to
accomplish the tasks. Each
stage identified by the
learners will has to be verified
by the teacher. 3. Accomplish
the Laboratory Activity:
