Week 2 Lesson 2: Cell Division
Guide Card
Introduction
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master cell
division. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which
you read them can be changed to correspond to the textbook you are now using. In this
module, you will learn how the cells divide.
Learning Competency
After going through this module, you are expected to:
• Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell division cycle. S8LT - IVd -
16
• Explain the significance of meiosis in maintaining the chromosome number. S8LT
- IVf – 18
2. This is the last phase of mitosis where original cell divides to form two new cells
with the same number of chromosomes.
A. Anaphase B. Telophase C. Prophase D. Metaphase

3. What’s phase comes right after metaphase?
A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Telophase
D. Anaphase

Lesson
CELL DIVISION
1
Cell division is the process by which a living cell proliferates from one cell to two cells. The
cells before division are called mother cells, and the new cells formed after division are
called daughter cells. Generally, it includes two steps: nuclear division and cytokinesis.
There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people
refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells.
Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.
Review
Every living thing undergoes reproduction. The nutrients taken by an individual will
provide for energy for metabolic processes, for growth and development as well as
reproduction. You now know that the cellular level of reproduction, in the form of cell
division, provides for the backdrop for the organismal level of reproduction.

Discussion
The vast amount of information encoded in
DNA is organized into units called genes.
The genes are a segment of DNA carries the
code to create a protein or RNA molecule.
As eukaryotic cells prepare to divide, the
chromosomes (the DNA and associated
proteins) coil tighter as the cell prepare to
divide?

Meiosis I + II
It is important that gametes are haploid since at fertilization half the
chromosomes come from the male gamete (e.g. sperm cell) and half from the
female gamete (e.g. ovum) in order to produce a diploid zygote. Meiosis
produces four genetically different haploid cells during sexual reproduction
and involves two consecutive divisions.
• Meiosis I - where the chromosome number is reduced and crossing over
takes place
• . Meiosis II - where the two new haploid nuclei divide again in a
division identical to that of mitosis.

Observe the karyotype below:
In either case the resulting individual will suffer from some
disabilities depending on which chromosome are involved:
Here are the results if too many or too few chromosomes:
a. Jacob,s syndrome( supermale)XYY ( 47)
b. Turner’s Syndrome( monosomy female)XO (45)
c. Trisomic Female(superfemale)XXX ( 47)
d. Kleinfelter’s syndrome(male XXY) (47)
e. Down Syndrome( trisomy #21) (47)
f. Edward syndrome (trisomy #18) (47)
g. Patau syndrome (trisomy#13) ( 47)

Activity 3
Directions: Study the given illustrations. Write the descriptions that best fit
each phase in the boxes provided. Use the sentences/phrases in the list below.
Write your answers on your activity notebook.
DESCRIPTIONS
Original cell divides to form two new cells with the same number of
chromosomes.
The centrioles move apart along the fibers of the spindle until they reach
opposite sides of the cell.

What I can do
Directions: Number the following diagram of the first half of meiosis in the proper order.
Label each diagram as Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I or Telophase I. Do it on
your notebook.
Do the same for the diagram of the second half of Meiosis. Label the phases correctly as
Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II and Cytokinesis. Then number each
diagram in the proper order.
