The teacher will post different pictures of celebrities, during their

childhood and present days to the students. The students will match the
pictures of the personalities from their childhood and the present. After
matching the pictures, the teacher will ask the students the following
questions:
1. Is there any difference on their physical characteristics when they
are still child and up to the present?
2. What could be the reason for this change?

(EXPLAIN)

Based on their answers on the activity, the teacher will discuss Mitosis and
the stages of it.

1. Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in having two

daughter cells. This cell division is for the growth and replacement
of worn out cells. The 4 stages of mitosis are prophase,
metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

 In Interphase, the DNA in the cell is copied in preparation for cell

division.

2. Prophase is where the chromosomes are condensed. The

membrane of the nucleus is dissolved. The spindle fibers start to
elongate.

3. Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes are aligned at

the center. The sister chromatids are attached to the spindle
fibers.
 4. Anaphase is where the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the
spindle fibers to the opposite poles. The spindle fibers shorten.

5. Telophase is the last stage of mitosis. A membrane will form

around the set of chromosomes and a cleavage will form in the
cell. Afterwards, the single cell then pinches in the middle to form
two separate daughter cells each containing a full set of
chromosomes within a nucleus. This process is known as
cytokinesis.
G. Finding practical (ELABORATE)

concepts and skills in Matching Type: match the stages of mitosis in Column A with its
daily living description in Column B

2. Metaphase chromosomes and a cleavage will form in
3. Anaphase the cell
4. Telophase
b. The sister chromatids are pulled apart by
the spindle fibers to the opposite poles

c. It is the stage in mitosis where the

chromosomes are aligned at the center.

d. This stage where chromosomes are

condensed and membrane of nucleus is
dissolved
