Question

Prophase vs. Metaphase - I can never tell the difference. How do you remember it?

Answer 1

You know the difference between the two?

Answer 2

Yeah!

Answer 3

Okay, what's most important is that Prophase happens first. Just replace the 'o' with 'e' and it become 'prephase' as in 'pre' or before Metaphase. Or at least that's how I remember it.

Answer 4

Thanks, that helps a lot!

Answer 5

Metaphase starts with M. It is when the chromosomes line up the the Middle (also M).
