Please check your answers at the answer key section and see how you fared.
Don’t worry if you got a low score, this just means that there are still more things
for you to learn in this module. So, hop on!

Reflect on something that has changed about your
appearance or the things around you in the last month or
week (ex. Your hair, nails or even organisms around you).
ACTIVITY

The activity above gave you an overview of what will transcend in the next
part of the module. As discussed in your Grade 8 Science, there are two
processes by which chromosomes are transmitted from one generation to the
next, these are Mitosis and Meiosis. Each type of cell division is composed of
sequence of events that leads to the production of daughter cells. But, what are
the commonalities and differences of these two processes? You will learn about
them as you proceed to the succeeding activities

5. Takes place only during the reproductive
years of the organism
Understanding the concepts of cell division gives us a clearer view of how cells
in our body work in order to maintain its normal functioning and it explains how critical
their roles are in the continuity of life. For organisms to grow and reproduce cells must
divide, this is done through a process called Cell division. It is a basic process of life
that all organisms undergo, although it occurs in different ways in different species.
There are two major types of cell division namely: mitosis and meiosis.
MITOSIS
Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces daughter cells that are genetically
identical to the originally-dividing cells (parent). It occurs among somatic cells or the
body cells and is the reason why our body is capable of growth and development, for
example the increase in size or in length of an organism, the healing of wound to
replace damaged cells. This process is responsible for the growth and development
of an organism, repair and replacement of damaged cells and organelles, and helps
in maintains the constant number of chromosomes in all body cells of an organism.
There are four (4) stages under the process of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase,
Anaphase and Telophase.

cytokinesis
MEIOSIS
This is a type of cell division that occurs only among gametes or reproductive
cells (sperm and egg). It consists of two rounds of nuclear division; the first division is
called reduction-division, it involves separation of homologous chromosomes resulting
in two haploid nuclei, while the second division (equational division) results in four
haploid nuclei that are non-identical to the parents as a result of crossing over
(exchange of genetic material of homologous chromosomes).

Based on what you have learned in the previous
activities and from the discussion above, I
believe you can now answer the following
exercises.

given factor. Indicate notes discussing any important differences or similarities or
events occurring in the phases.

You may refer to the following vocabulary words used in this module:
Cell Cycle
o The repeating sequence of growth and division through which cells
pass each generation.
11
Mitosis
o Somatic cell division; nuclear division in which the duplicated
chromosomes separate to form two genetically identical daughter
nuclei.
Meiosis
o A process of cell division in which the number of chromosomes in
certain cells is halved during gamete formation.
Chromosomes
o The structure within the cells that contains the genes.
Cytokinesis
o Division of the cytoplasm of a cell after nuclear division.
Chromatid
o One of the two copies of a replicated chromosome, joined by a
single centromere to the other strand.
Chromatin
o The complex of DNA and proteins of which eukaryotic
chromosomes are composed
Homologues
o Homologous chromosomes; one of a pair of chromosomes of the
same kind located in a diploid cell; one copy of each pair of
homologues come from each gamete that formed the zygote.
Haploid
o a cell that contains a single set of chromosome
Diploid
o a cell that contain two copies of each chromosome
