I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
In the previous week, you learned about the series of events that takes place
in a cell as it grows and divides- the cell cycle. You already understood the process
of mitosis and meiosis as part of the cell cycle. This week, you are going discover
disorders and diseases that result from the malfunction of the cell during the cell
cycle. And you are going to enjoy learning about the structural components of the cell
membrane and relate the structure and composition of the cell membrane to its
function. Happy learning!

ERRORS IN MEIOSIS
Since you already know the appearance of a normal karyotype, you can surely
assess and distinguish a normal karyotype from a karyotype with errors. And you can surely
pinpoint in which chromosomes has the abnormality.

Written TASK 1.
Based on what you have learned in the previous activities, I believe you can now
answer and elaborate the following questions.
1. What would happen if mitosis went wrong?
ELABORATE:
Errors in Meiosis
Those chromosomal abnormalities you just discovered in activity 1 are errors in
meiosis. Those are disorder resulting from non-disjunction of homologous chromosomes.
The result of this error is a cell with an imbalance of chromosomes. Such a cell is said to be
“aneuploid”. Aneuploidy, an extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic
disorders (birth defects).
Errors In Mitosis.
Do you remember the controls of the cell cycle?
Mechanisms for controlling progress through the cell cycle are Checkpoints (Spindle
Assembly Checkpoint, DNA Damage Checkpoint, and Apoptosis Checkpoint), Length of
RO_Biology-1_11/12_Q1_LP 5

Telomeres (After 50 divisions, the shortened length of telomeres causes mitosis to stop),
and Chemical Signals from within and outside the cell (Certain protein, hormones, and
growth factor).
The daughter cells produced in mitosis should be identical to the mother cell. Normal
cells divide only when attached to a surface, continue dividing until they touch one another
or will further divide with the aid of growth factor.
Before a cell divides, the DNA is checked to make sure it has replicated correctly.
This piece of DNA is an exact copy of the DNA from which it came. When the parent cell
divided to create two cells, the cell's DNA also divided, creating two identical copies of the
original DNA. If DNA does not copy itself correctly a different daughter cell will be
produced, or a gene mutation occurs.
Proteins and Chemical Signals tells a cell when to start and when to stop dividing. If
Chemical Signals fails to stop the cell from dividing cells will continue to grow and
become overcrowded or unlimited cell division will occur.
New cells are only formed for growth or to replace dead ones. Cells communicate
with each other, so division of normal cells is precisely controlled. If cells failed
communicate with each other, there will be an uncontrolled cell division and they will
become overcrowded.
According to cell theory, cells are the main unit of organization in biology. All cells are
contained by a cell membrane that keeps the pieces inside.
When you think about a membrane, imagine it is like a big
plastic bag with some tiny holes. That bag holds all the cell
pieces and fluids inside the cell and keeps any nasty things
outside the cell. The holes are there to let some things move
in and out of the cell.

ELABORATE
1. The cell membrane is mainly composed of lipids and proteins. Its framework consists of a
double layer phospholipid. There are two major types of proteins: tightly coiled, rod-shaped
fibrous proteins and the more compact globular shaped integral proteins and peripheral
proteins.

Figure 11. Lipids and proteins.
2. Because the cell membrane is mostly lipid, it only allows lipid-soluble substances, such as
oxygen, carbon dioxide and steroids to go through. Water soluble substances such as
glucose, amino acids, ions, and water, need the help of the various proteins for transport.
3. The figure below shows the two layers of phospholipid molecules. The two layers self-
assemble so that their water soluble (hydrophilic) heads form the surface and interior of the

4. The fibrous protein may span the entire membrane and serve as a receptor for the cell.
5. One type of globular proteins forms “pores” to allow lipid insoluble water molecules to
pass through.

membrane. Protein and Lipid are the most abundant macromolecule in the cell membrane.
Lipids - Lipids mainly contribute to tension, rigidity, and overall shape. Diffusion occurs here.
In the cell membrane, lipid plays the important role of separating the cytoplasm from
the extracellular region. Both regions are aqueous, meaning they contain water.
A phospholipid is composed of a head and a tail. Based on the illustration, which do
you think between the head and tail are „hydrophobic‟ (water-fearing) and „hydrophilic‟
(water-loving)? Explain.

Proteins - Proteins on the other hand plays one of the most important role of cell
membrane, which is the transport of materials in and out of the cell. It also aids in the
assembly of nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates - Minute traces of Carbohydrates are found at the exterior of the membrane
attached to either a protein or lipid, mainly functioning in signaling, recognition, and
adhesion.

WRITTEN WORK 2.
COVID-19 has suddenly halted our world from doing usual things due to fears of
contacting it. This dreaded virus attacks the throat and lungs of the victim, and may even
lead to death.
Did you know that the concept of how this virus work is related to how important the
role of cell membrane is? (If you have internet, you can watch the detailed video here:
https://youtu.be/5DGwOJXSxqg
COVID-19 virus attaches itself to the cell using a protein spike, which is recognized
by a receptor protein of the victim‟s cell membrane. It is like a lock-and-key process. Once
the cell membrane recognizes the spike protein, it will then allow entry to the virus, which is
of course a wrong decision. Once the virus is inside the cell, it will then proceed with
reproducing more viruses, causing the disease to exhibit.
Knowing how the virus works, how will you avoid contacting it? How can you reduce
the chance for the virus to reach the cell membrane of your respiratory cells?

Once there is an Addition, Deletion, Translocation, and Non-disjunction of a
piece or a whole chromosome, chromosomal mutation occurs. And it is a chromosomal
abnormality. And once mitosis is not controlled unlimited cell division will occur that will result
to a disorder or disease.
