I.

OBJECTIVES

The learners demonstrate an understanding of the cell cycle;

A. Content Standards a. Mitosis

b. Meiosis

B. Performance Standards

Explain the significance or applications of mitosis/meiosis (STEM_BIO11/12-Id-f-9)

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

C. Learning Competence/Objectives 1. Differentiate mitosis and meiosis.

2. Explain the importance of mitosis and meiosis.

3. Express the importance of healthy living in cell reproduction.

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the Review the previous lesson on crossing over and recombination in meiosis.
new lesson
The teacher will prepare some pictures of cell division on metacards and students
will be asked to match the events happen during each phase.

PROPHASE Chromatin expands. Cytoplasm divides.

Telophase
Chromosomes align at the equatorial
plane.
Anaphase
Chromatin condenses into
chromosomes. Nuclear envelope
Metaphase
disappears.

Cytokinesis Sister chromatids separate.

Centrosomes divide.

Cytoplasm divides.

B. Establishing a purpose for the The teacher will show some pictures of people with open wounds or cut. Then ask
lesson(MOTIVATION) the students about their personal experiences about having wounds or cut.

Guide Questions:

1. How did you get the wound or cut?

2. Describe the physical appearance of the wound.

 3. How and for how long did you manage the wound?

C. Presenting examples/instances of the new Create groups composed of 5 members each. They will be asked to watch a video
lesson (PRE-ACTIVITY) about the importance of Mitosis and Meiosis.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new Based on the video, the groups will differentiate mitosis and meiosis.
skills #1 (ACTIVITY PROPER)
Basis of Comparison Mitosis Meiosis

1. Type of cell where the Body cells Gametes(sperm cell and

4. Number of daughter 2 4

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new From the table above, ask the students the following guide questions.
skills #2 (DEEPENING)
1. Infer the importance/significance of meiosis and mitosis.

F. Developing Mastery (POST-ACTIVITY) Which is responsible for the following situations. (Mitosis or Meiosis)

1. Variation of physical features.

2. Repair of tissues.

3. Healing of wounds.

4. Renewal of skin cells.

5. Exchange of genetic materials.

6. Separation of Alleles.

7. Genetic variability

8. Growth of bones.

9. Growth of human.

10. Evolution in sexually reproducing organisms.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts The student will answer the following questions.
and skills in daily living (APPLICATION)
1. Why do siblings have different physical features though they come from the
same set of parents?

2. Why is it important for adolescents to have enough sleep and proper diet?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions Based on the objectives, ask the following questions.
about the lesson (GENERALIZATION)
1. What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis.

2. Cite the important roles of Mitosis and Meiosis in our daily lives.

I. Evaluating Learning (Assessment) Write an essay for the following situation.

1. If you draw on your skin with a permanent marker, the markings wil fade in a
couple of days. What does the simple demonstration reveal about the cell division
in your skin? What can you infer about tattoos?

2. Why do chemotherapy and radiation sometimes kill hair follicle cells along with
cancer, while leaving many other cells unaffected?

J. Additional Activities (REMEDIAL) Do some research about errors in meiosis.
