 Statement My answer Module’s answer
Interphase is the next stage of
cell division. Nothing happens
in interphase.

The cell spends most of its

time at rest.
Interphase is comprised of
smaller phases where
growth and synthesis of
DNA take place.

Cells gain weight first before

dividing.
There are four phases in
mitosis.

 Lesson
Cell Cycle: Mitosis
1
The ability to reproduce in kind is a basic characteristic of all
living organisms. “In kind” means that the offspring of any
organism closely resemble their parent or parents. Sexual
reproduction requires fertilization, the union of gametes from
two individual organisms resulting in a fertilized egg or zygote.
Countless cell divisions subsequently occur in a controlled
manner to produce a complex, multicellular organism. In other
words, that original single cell is the ancestor of every other cell
in the body. Once an individual is fully grown, cell
reproduction is still necessary to repair or regenerate tissues. For
example, new blood and skin cells are constantly being
produced. All multicellular organisms use cell division for
growth and for the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. For single – celled organisms, they use
cell division as their method of reproduction.

The continuity of life from one cell to another has its foundation
in the reproduction of cells by way of the cell cycle. The cell
cycle is an orderly sequence of events that describes the stages
of a cell’s life from the division of a single parent cell to the
production of two new daughter cells. The mechanisms
involved in the cell cycle are highly regulated. Mitosis is the
part of a cell cycle that results in identical daughter nuclei that
are also genetically identical to the original parent nucleus. In
mitosis, both the parent and the daughter nuclei are at the same
ploidy level
– diploid for most plants and animals. Meiosis employs many of
the same mechanisms as mitosis. However, the starting nucleus
is always diploid and the nuclei that result at the end of a meiotic cell division are haploid. Nuclear
division (karyokinesis) is usually followed by the cytoplasm into two (cytokinesis).

8
 What’s In
Let us first have a short recap of the applications of cell cycle and mitosis so you can better
understand the significance of mitotic cell division.

Below are pictures which can lead you to enumerate the importance of cell cycle and mitosis. You
need to interpret each picture and so, you can state the significance of mitotic cell division.

Notes to the Teacher

This module aims to familiarize the students about the significance
of cell cycle and mitosis. Point out the role of mitotic cell division in
repairing and regenerating tissues, growth, and reproduction.

What’s New

9
 Has anyone ever told you that you were “going through a phase”? A phase is a defined period
within a cycle of change. Cells go through phases, too. The sequence of phases in the life cycle of a
cell is called the cell cycle. The cell cycle has two parts: Growth and preparation (interphase) and cell
division (mitosis or meiosis). Cell division in turn is divided into two stages: Karyokinesis and
cytokinesis. Below is an activity that will help you understand the phases of cell cycle.
The figure below shows the amount of time spent by a typical cell in each phase of the cell cycle.
After observing the table, answer the given questions.

a. Which phase of cell cycle is the longest?

b. Which is the shortest?
c. What do you think is happening to the chromosomes when the cell is at the end of G 2 phase
prior to mitosis?

What is It
It has already said that cell cycle has two major parts: Interphase and cell division. This module will
be focusing on mitosis that involves the cell division of body cells (somatic). During interphase, the
cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic
contents are distributed, and the cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

How does the cell prepare for mitosis while in interphase?

Interphase is the part of the cell cycle through which the cell
undergoes normal growth processes while also preparing for cell
division. In order for a cell to move from interphase into mitotic
phase, many internal and external conditions must be met.
Interphase is by far the longest part of the cell cycle – typically
about 90 percent of the total time.

10
 Interphase has three stages based on the metabolic
activity taking place in the cell: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis stage), and G2 (second gap).

The phases of cell cycle happen along with the cell cycle control system. Cell cycle control system,
also called as cell cycle checkpoints, is driven by a built-in clock that can be adjusted by external
stimuli like sending chemical messages (protein). This control system is essential to ensure that the
daughter cells produced be exact duplicates of the parent cell. Mistakes in the duplication or
distribution of the chromosomes lead to mutations that may be passed on to every new cell produced
from as abnormal cell.

Cell cycle control system has three main checkpoints: G 1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint, and metaphase
checkpoint. G1 checkpoint is the restriction point which ensures that the cell is large enough to divide
and that enough nutrients are available to support the resulting daughter cells. If the said requirements
were met, the cell will receive a “go – ahead” signal from a protein called kinase, allowing the cell to
enter the cell cycle. If the cell doesn’t receive a “go – ahead” signal, it will exit the cell cycle and
switch to a non – dividing state called G0 (quiescent phase).

First Gap (G1)

During G1, the cell actively produces ATP, RNA, and protein. Also, during this stage, the cell
increases in size.

Synthesis Stage (S)

During the S stage, the chromosomes, specifically their DNA, replicate. As DNA replication has
ended, the cell enters another checkpoint called the G 2 checkpoint. This checkpoint ensures that DNA
replication in S phase has been successfully completed. If the said requirement was met, the cell will
receive a “go – ahead” signal from kinase, allowing the cell to enter the second gap (G 2).

Second Gap (G2)

During G2, the cell organelles duplicates. Also, the chromosomes uncoil to form the chromatin
materials which will then turn into granules. Chromatin materials are threadlike form of
chromosomes.

Thought – Provoking Question 1: A researcher treats cells with a chemical that prevents DNA
synthesis from starting. This treatment would trap the cells in which part of the cell cycle?

11
What are the phases of mitosis?

Prophase

As the cell exits the second gap, the cell will now proceed to
mitosis. During prophase, the first part of mitosis, the chromatin
materials start to condense, forming discrete chromosomes. The
nucleus and other organelles of the cell start to disintegrate.
Centrioles start to move toward the opposite pole of the cell
along with the radiation of mitotic spindle between them.
Prometaphase

During prometaphase, a transition phase between prophase and

metaphase, chromatin materials have coiled to form the
chromosomes. The nucleus and other organelles are no longer
visible. The centrioles have reached the opposite poles of the
cell. Spindle fibers converge and connect to the kinetochore of
chromosomes. As the interconnection of spindle fibers to the
chromosomes, specifically to their kinetochore, has ended, the
cell enters the metaphase checkpoint. This checkpoint ensures
that all of the chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers by their kinetochore. If the said
requirement was met, the chromosomes will force to move
toward the center of the cell.

Metaphase

During metaphase, the chromosomes convene on the metaphase

plate, an imaginary plane equidistant between the two poles of
the spindle fibers.

Anaphase

Anaphase begins when the centromere of each chromosome

come apart, separating the sister chromatids. Spindle fibers will
then pull the chromatids toward the opposite poles of the cell.
Along with that action is the formation of spindle fibers between
the migrating chromatids which causes the cell to elongate.
Telophase

Telophase is roughly the

reverse of prophase. The
cell elongation that started in anaphase continues until a
constriction is formed from the outer middle portion of the cell.

12
The chromosomes have reached the opposite poles of the cell. The spindle fibers start to disappear.
Nuclei and cytoplasmic contents of the daughter cells start to reform. The chromosomes start to
decondense.
Cytokinesis

During cytokinesis, in some references is referred to as the late

telophase, the nuclei and cytoplasmic contents of the daughter
cells are fully visible. The chromosomes are no longer visible.
The constriction continues forming the cleavage furrow, which
pinches the cell in two. Two new daughter cells are formed,
each with a complete set of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Thought – Provoking Question 2: Red blood cells,

which carry oxygen to body tissues, live for only about 120
days. Replacement cells are produced by cell division in bone marrow. How many cell divisions must
occur each second in your bone marrow just to replace red blood cells? Here is the information to use
in calculating your answer: There are about 5 million red blood cells per cubic millimetre (mm 3) of
blood. An average adult has about 5 L (5,000 cm 3) of blood. (Hint: What is the total number of red
blood cells in the body? What fraction of them must be replaced each day if all are replaced in 120
days?)

How can mutations lead to changes in the cell cycle?

Cell growth is carefully controlled in multicellular organisms.

Cells in some parts of your body may rarely divide or actively
divide. During the healing process of wounds, cells divide
actively. Toward completion of healing, cell division slows
down, the growth is controlled, and everything returns to
normal when the healing is done.

At times, errors happen along with cell growth. These errors

can be caused by toxic compounds, radiation, or viruses. Due to
these errors, the mitotic process can be disrupted, resulting to mutations. Mutations cause a permanent
error, or change, in the genetic material of a normal cell. The table below shows some errors in
mitosis.

Errors in Mitosis
Error in cell division Cell cycle events affected Characteristic properties

13
Cancer Interphase The cell produces incorrect DNA
copies. As a result, mutated cells are
formed known as cancer cells. Cancer
cells do not respond normally to the
cell cycle control system; they divide
actively producing an abnormally
growing mass of body cells called
tumor.
Benign tumor is a lump of cancer cells
that remain at the original site

Malignant tumor is a lump of cancer

cells that can spread into neighboring
tissues and other parts of the body,
displacing normal tissue and
interrupting organ function as it goes.
This spread of cancer cells via the
circulatory system beyond their
original site is called metastasis.

Non – disjunction Anaphase The chromosomes or sister chromatids

failed to separate that may to
chromosomal mutation.

Mosaicism is a condition where some

cells in an individual have a mutant
version of a gene while other cells have
a normal version of the same gene. It
usually results from non – disjunction
of sister chromatids during fetal
development. Two examples of
diseases linked to mosaicism are
hemophilia, a
blood – clotting disorder, and
Marfan syndrome, or unusually
long limbs.

Thought – Provoking Question 3: Chemotherapy drugs such as

vincristine and colchicine disrupt mitosis by binding to tubulin,
the subunit of microtubules found in centriole and interfering
with microtubule assembly and disassembly. Exactly what
mitotic structure is targeted by these drugs and what effect
would that have on cell division?

 HeLa cell is an immortal cell line used in scientific research.
It is the oldest and most commonly used human cell line. The
line was derived from cervical cancer cells taken on February
8, 1951 from Henrietta Lacks, a 31 – year – old African –
American mother of five, who died of cancer on October 4,
1951. The cell line was found to be remarkably durable and
prolific, which causes it to be used extensively in scientific
study.

The
cells
from
Lacks’
What I Can Do

cancerous cervical tumor were taken without her knowledge

or consent, which was common practice at the time. There
was no requirement at that time (or at present) to inform
patients or their relatives about such matters because
discarded material or material obtained during surgery,
diagnosis, or therapy was the property of the physician or the
medical
institution. The cells were propagated by George Otto Gey shortly before Lacks died of her cancer in
1951. This was the first human cell line to prove successful in vitro, which was a scientific

16
achievement with profound future benefit to medical research. The cells were freely donated by Gey
but later commercialized, although never patented in their original form.

Lacks’ case is one of many examples of the lack of informed consent in 20 th century medicine.
Communication between tissue donors and doctors was virtually nonexistent. Lacks’ family also had
no access to her patient files and had no say in who received HeLa cells or what they would be used
for. Additionally, as HeLa cells were popularized and used more frequently throughout the scientific
community, Lacks’ relatives received no financial benefit and continued to live with limited access to
healthcare. This issue of who owns tissue samples taken for research was brought up in the Supreme
Court of California. The court ruled that a person’s discarded tissue and cells are not his or her
property and can be commercialized

In your point of view as a senior high school STEM student, do you think the Henrietta Lacks’
relatives were treated fairly? Is there anything else you would like to know about this case that might
help you decide? Explain your answer using the concepts that you have learned from this module.

Additional Activities
I know! You can’t get enough of the incomparable scientific adventure of cell cycle and
mitosis. Don’t worry, you won’t miss out with the following additional exciting mind and hand
activity!

Every year about a million individuals are diagnosed as having cancer. This means that about
75 million individuals now living will eventually have cancer, and one in five will die of the disease.
There are many kinds of cancers and many causes of the disease. For example, smoking causes most
lung cancers. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays in sunlight causes most skin cancers. There is evidence
that a high – fat, low – fiber diet is a factor in breast, colon, and prostate cancers. And agents in the
workplace such as asbestos and vinyl chloride are also implicated as causes of cancer. Hundreds of
millions of money are spent each year in the search for effective treatments for cancer; far less money
is spent preventing cancer.

For your task: Make an illustration (with a title) showing your own perspective in preventing
cancer that will answer to the following questions: Why might this be the case? What kinds of
lifestyle changes could we make to help prevent cancer? What kinds of prevention programs could be
initiated or strengthened to encourage these changes? What factors might impede such changes and
programs? Should we devote more of our resources to treating cancer or preventing it? Why? Your
product will be assessed based on the following criteria: organization and content accuracy,
appropriateness of elements, creativity, and appearance. The actual rubric to be used in assessing your
product will be found on page 19.
