At the end of the topic, students can:

• Explain that cells of living things divide and reproduce genetically in a process called cell
cycle.
• Define and describe the four (4) major phases of cell division in the processes of mitosis
and meiosis.
note: use these learning objectives create students' questions based on the blooms taxonomy's hierarchical structure where necessary

Here are some suggested student questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy, ranging from lower-order thinking skills (remembering and understanding) to higher-order skills (analyzing, evaluating, and creating):

Remembering:

  1. What is the definition of the cell cycle?
  2. List the four major phases of mitosis.
  3. What are the main differences between mitosis and meiosis?

Understanding:

  1. Can you explain why cell division is essential for living organisms?
  2. Describe each of the four phases of mitosis in your own words.
  3. How does the process of meiosis contribute to genetic diversity in living organisms?

Applying:

  1. If a cell undergoes mitosis, what will be the genetic makeup of the daughter cells compared to the parent cell?
  2. Provide an example of a situation in which a somatic cell would undergo mitosis rather than meiosis.

Analyzing:

  1. Compare and contrast the processes of mitosis and meiosis in a table. Include the number of divisions, types of cells produced, and genetic variation.
  2. Analyze the significance of checkpoints in the cell cycle. How do they regulate cell division?

Evaluating:

  1. Evaluate the impact of errors in mitosis or meiosis on an organism. What potential consequences could arise from such errors?
  2. Discuss the role of cell division in cancer development. How does uncontrolled cell division differ from normal cell division?

Creating:

  1. Design a model or diagram that illustrates the cell cycle and highlights the phases of mitosis and meiosis.
  2. Create an informative presentation that explains the significance of the cell cycle in growth and reproduction, including potential implications for human health.

These questions encompass a range of cognitive processes and aim to deepen students' understanding of cell division and the cell cycle while encouraging critical thinking and creativity.
