our teacher taught us P MAT (pro,meta,ana,telo)
and imagined it as a cat/dog whatever peeing on the mat.
or, for the more sophisticated:
pro = before, so it prepares itself for the division eg centrioles move to poles, envelope disappears etc
meta = m = middle, the chromatids line up in the middle and attach to the spindle fibres
ana = a = after, the chromatids split at the centromere and get pulled etc etc etc
telo = like watching it afterwards on telo-vision, the envelope reforms etc etc
also: does anyone have the 2 or 3 mark definitions for Resolution and Magnification?
and, why is staining necessary for light microscopes and electron microscopes?
