The lesson plan aims to define cell cycle and identify its different stages. It will discuss that cell cycles are generally divided into interphase and mitosis. Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and prepares for division. Mitosis is then explained in four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, where the chromosomes condense, align, separate, and arrive at opposite poles of the dividing cell respectively. The students are expected to understand and identify the stages of the cell cycle.
