An Easy Way to Rember the Stages of Meiosis/Mitosis

PPMAT-- that's the initials of each phase. If we wanted to be boring, we could memorize that. But instead, I have a few helpful anagrams for you!

(For those of you who don't know, the stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase/cytokinesis, according to my book. Some don't include prometaphase, however.)

ANAGRAM TIME! :D

1. Please pass me a telephone. (this one is most logical)
2. Purple pixies menaced at turtles.
3. Phagocytic phonies misuse anorexic trepidations. (for the linguist we all secretly harbor, one with fancier words)----> 2015 edit: I hate this one! Younger self, what were you thinking?!?

Do you have any anagrams to add? Personally, I use "Please pass me a telephone."

Are you excited to be back at school? I'm not... I just want it to be summer again! Oh well, summer will come again soon enough. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy my art and Spanish classes (the only classes I actually like).
