ACTIVITY 5

CELL CYCLE

Most Essential Learning


Competency:

phases of cell
cycle and their
control points.

INTRODUCTION:
The cell cycle is a fairly complicated process. Like in rapidly dividing human
cells with a 24-hour cell cycle, the G1 phase lasts approximately nine hours, the S
phase lasts 10 hours, the G2 phase lasts about four and one-half hours, and the M
phase lasts approximately one-half hour. In early embryos of fruit flies, the cell cycle
is completed in about eight minutes. The timing of events in the cell cycle is
controlled by mechanisms that are both internal and external to the cell. One of the
basic characteristics of all living organisms is the ability to reproduce. It is either
asexually in unicellular organisms or sexually in multicellular organism. Sexual
reproduction requires fertilization resulting to a fertilized egg cell called zygote. All
the cells in our body came from the division of the pre-existing one. In prokaryotes,
cell division can be observed through binary fission. While in the eukaryotes, cell
cycle consists of two distinct phases: Interphase and Mitotic phase. Cell cycle is a
means for the continuity of life. So, before the cell divides it spends most of its life in
the period of cell growth called Interphase with three substages: G1 phase, S phase
and G2 phase followed by M phase or Mitotic phase.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

▪ Determine & characterize the phases of the cell cycle and their control
points;
▪ Explain the importance of checkpoints in cell cycle; and
▪ Identify disorders and diseases that result from the malfunction of the cell
during the cell cycle.

MATERIALS:
▪ Writing/Drawing Materials (Pencil, ball pen, etc.)
▪ Coloring Materials (Coloring pencil, crayons etc.)
▪ Activity sheets
▪ Diagram of cell cycle

PROCEDURE:
1. Draw the events of cell cycle in the box (see attached activity sheet) and
label each parts.
2. Describe the events of cell cycle and its checkpoints.
3. Use the attached activity sheet for drawing.

ILLUSTRATIONS:
▪ Draw and label the events of cell cycle and its checkpoint.

QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:


1. What is cell cycle?
2. Differentiate the different checkpoints of cell cycle and its importance?
3. Why is the interphase is considered as the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Enumerate each phases and its role.
4. Identify one disorder or disease that result from the malfunction of the cell
during the cell cycle. Explain the effects into the body.
