Direction:
Rearrange the parts of
digestive system in
correct sequence during
digestion process.
Have you ever watched a tadpole turn into an adult frog?
If so, you are perhaps familiar with the idea of a life
cycle. Other organisms, such as humans, plants, and
bacteria, also have life cycles.

The same thing happens with the living cells.

It is called Cell cycle.

Q1. What is Cell Cycle?

d ule 2
Q4-Mo
What Is Cell
Cycle About? ● Cell cycle
 can be compared to as
the life cycle of a cell, a
series of growth and
developmental steps a
cell undergoes between
its “birth” and
reproduction.
The 1. Chromatids
Chromosomes -two identical halves of a
replicated Chromosome
2. Centromere
-attachment point of the two
chromatids.
3. Short arm
- p arm (upper arms of the
chromosome which is shorter
4. Q arm
- Lower arms of the
chromosome which is longer
 The Cell • Cell cycle may be divided
Cycle into two stages:
The chromosomes of a 1. Interphase
2. cell division/ mitotic phase
cell change their form
as they undergo cell
transitions from one
stage to another in a
typical cell cycle
 The interphase is divided into three
Interphase sub-stages, namely:

-the cell is not dividing; it merely 1. G1 (First gap period)

• Cell grows initially
grows. The chromosome doubles • synthesis of protein and RNA
or replicates itself . • Mitochondria increase in number

-cell obtains nutrients and 2. S phase (Synthesis stage)

• DNA re synthesized, replicating of
metabolizes, grows, replicates its
chromosome
DNA in preparation for mitosis
3. S phase (Synthesis stage)
• Cell grows rapidly cell prepares for
the actual cell division
Mitosis
Cell division stage
 Cell Division 1. Mitosis
• occurs every after  Our body cells increase
interphase. In eukaryotic its number through this
cells, these types of cell process
division occur:  a cellular process wherein
• mitosis and meiosis. two nuclei and two cells are
produced due to the
division of the original
nucleus.
Mitosis 1. Prophase
• Repeated coiling of chromosomes
- divided into four stages • Two chromatids attached at the
centromere
namely: prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase
2. Metaphase
• chromosomes align at equatorial
plane
• Spindle fiber connected to each
chromosomes
3. Anaphase
• spindle fiber contracts and
become shorter
• Centromeres divide
• Single chromatids move
towards the opposite pole
4. Telophase
• chromosomes are now at the
opposing poles of the spindle.
• two sets of chromosomes are
surrounded by new nuclear
membranes
Cytokinesis
 cytoplasmic division, splitting the cell into two.

After Telophase, cytokinesis occurs

Meiosis
 Meiosis
Why must meiosis take place
to produce sperm and egg?
• When a sperm unites with an egg,
each, contributes only one half of
the total number of chromosomes
(23) to the new zygote which is
diploid in number of chromosomes
(46).
• Meiosis creates cells that are
destined to become gametes (or
reproductive cells).
Meiosis
• Involves two(2) divisions
1. Meiosis I
2. Meiosis II
Meiosis I
• prophase I, metaphase I,
anaphase I, and telophase I.
Meiosis II
• prophase II, metaphase II,
Anaphase II, and telophase II.
 Prophase I

1. Sister 2. Pairing 3. Coiling 3. Tetrad 3. Chiasmata

chromatids (Synapsis) (cross over) (held by terminalization
Chiasma)
