DETAILED LESSON PLAN

in
SCIENCE 8
I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate the understanding of how cells divide to produce new
cells, meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the
Mendelian Pattern of Inheritance
B. Performance The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation in plant
Standard and animal breeding
C. Learning Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell-division cycle, explain
Competencies/Objectives the significance of meiosis in maintaining the chromosome number, predict
phenotypic expressions of traits following simple patterns of inheritance

new lesson To formally start our class this day, let’s have first a prayer.

Are all is present? Yes Sir.

Very Good.

B. Establishing a purpose At the end of the lesson the learners should be able to
for the lesson describe the cell cycle.

C. Presenting Listen carefully and take down notes the important words.

D. Discussing new Cell Cycle
concepts and practicing The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell
new skills #1 growth and cell division that produces two new daughter
cells. The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and
mitotic phase.

During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated.

The cell undergoes normal growth processes while also
preparing for the cell division.

Three stages of interphase are:

1. G1
2. S
3. G2

G1 Phase (First Gap)

The cell increases in size, the organelles double themselves,

and the DNA molecules replicate.

This is the first stage of the interphase because, the cell is

accumulating the building blocks of chromosomal DNA
and the associated proteins as well as accumulating
sufficient energy reserves to complete the task of
replicating each chromosome in the nucleus.

S Phase (Synthesis of DNA)

In this stage, DNA replication can proceed through the

mechanisms that results in the formation of identical pairs
of DNA molecules –sister chromatids- that are firmly
attached to the centromere region. The centrosome is also
duplicated during the S phase.

G2 Phase (Second Gap)

In this stage the cell replenishes its energy stores and

synthesize proteins necessary for chromosome
 manipulation and movement. Some cell organelles are
duplicated. There may be additional cell growth during this
stage. The final preparations for the mitotic phase must be
completed before the cell is able to enter the first stage of
mitosis.

G0 – is a special case when a specific cell- for instance, a

nerve cell or blood cell – stops the entire cell cycle and
does not proceed to division anymore. This explains why,
in some cases, nothing will replace the damaged nerve or
blood cells.

Any questions about interphase?

During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and

cytoplasmic contents are separated, and the cell cytoplasm
is typically partitioned by a third process of the cell cycle
called cytokinesis.
