the prayer.
“Who would like to lead the prayer?”
“At the count of 5, I want you to keep all your things,
arrange your chairs, and pick up pieces of papers and
plastics under your armchairs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5”

b. Explain the importance of Meiosis in living things

ELICIT

6. Reviewing of the Past Lesson

The teacher will ask the students about what they learned from the last discussion.

“What is Mitosis?” “Mitosis is a cellular process

 wherein two nuclei and two cells
are produced due to the division
of the original nucleus, each of
which contains the same
chromosome number as the
parent cell.”
“Mitosis is a type of cell division
that occurs in somatic or body
cells.”

“What are the four stages of Mitosis?” “The four stages of Mitosis are:
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase.”

“What is the importance if Mitosis?”

“Mitosis is important for growth,
development, repair, and asexual
reproduction.”

ENGAGE
The teacher will ask the learners to assemble the jumbled letters to form a word.
1. SMOISEI 1. MEOISIS
2. RSISGNOC ERVO 2. CROSSING OVER
3. HAPLOID
3. HDOILPA

“Based on our short activity, what do you think is our lesson for today?” “Our lesson for today is all about
Meoisis.”

“Now, I will be showing you a video on Meiosis.”

Learners will pay attention to the
video and take down notes.
The teacher will group the learners into four.

EXPLORE
The teacher will group the learners into four.

Instruction: Match the pictures to its corresponding stage in Meiosis.

EXPLAIN
DISCUSSION OF THE ACTIVITY:
The teacher will choose one representative from the group to report their work on class.

ELABORATE

“Another type of cell division is called Meiosis where the cell undergoes two rounds of
cell divisions to produce four daughter cells each with a unique set of genetic material.”

“This kind of cell division takes place in plants and animals whenever gametes or sex
cells are formed through the process of gametogenesis.”

“Again, how many rounds of cell division are there in Meiosis?” “There are two rounds of cell
division in Meiosis.”

“What do you call the first round of meiotic division?” “The first round of meiotic
division is known as Meiosis I.”

“Very good. What are the four stages involved in Meiosis I?” “Meiosis I consists four stages:
Prophase I, Metaphase I,
Anaphase I and Telophase I.

“During Prophase I, the

“What happens during Prophase I?” homologous chromosomes pair
up and crossing over occur.”
“Prophase I highlights the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes via a
process called recombination or crossing over at chiasmata/chiasma between non-sister
chromatids.”

“What happens during Metaphase I?” “During Metaphase I, the

chromosomes arrange
themselves along or in the
middle of the equatorial plate.

“During Anaphase I, the

“What happens during Anaphase I?” homologous chromosomes
separate away from each other
completely and start their
movement towards the poles of
the cells as they are pulled by
the spindle fibers.”
“Take note that during Anaphase I, the chromosome does not divide, the sister
chromatids remain together.”

“What happens during Telophase I?” “This is the stage when the
chromosomes reach their
respective poles. Cytokinesis
follows and two daughter cells
are formed.”
“In Telophase I, each cell has only half the chromosome number because only one
chromosome from each pair goes to the daughter cell. This is called the haploid
condition, in contrast to the diploid condition at the beginning of meiosis I.”

“What stage follows Telophase I?” “Telophase I is followed by

interphase II.”

“Note that each chromosome still has two chromatids. It is therefore necessary for cells
to undergo another round of cell division. What is the second meiotic division known “The second meiotic division is
as?” known as Meiosis II?”
“What are the stages in the second meiotic division?”
“The second meiotic division is
consists of the following stages:
Prophase II, Metaphase II,
Anaphase II, and Telophase II.”

“How will you describe these stages?” “The four stages in the second
meiotic division are mitotic in
nature which means that these
stages are identical to the stages
in mitosis.”

“What are the results of the second meiotic division?” “The results are four unique and
non-identical daughter cells.”

“What is the importance of Meiosis?”

“Meiosis is important for sexual
reproduction.”

“Meiosis is important for

genetic diversity as the crossing
over or recombination that
occurs in this type of cell
division rearranges the alleles
present in each chromosome
allowing the mixing of maternal
and paternal genes.”
8. Application

What do you think is the significance of crossing-over in Crossing-over is very important to have genetic variation in
Meiosis 1? different organisms or living things.”

9. Generalization

What are the stages of Meiosis 1 “Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1 and Telophase 1.”

What happened during Prophase 1? “Prophase 1 is the first stage where crossing over takes
place or the exchange of genetic material that results in
genetic variation.”

Amazing! What about Metaphase 1? “The chromosomes arranged themselves in the equatorial
plane.”

How about Anaphase 1? “The spindle fibers attached to centromeres of the

chromosomes and pulled the chromosomes toward the
opposite poles.”

How about Telophase 1 “Chromosomes reach their respective poles and cytokines
will follow.”

EVALUATE
