 Okay, I'm going to be here in pro-metaphase and I'm going to ask you to predict what do you think is going to happen in metaphase, metaphase. Remember we were connecting our chromosomes, our double copied chromosomes, sister chromatids attached to each other. We're attaching them to our centrioles and the centrioles are migrating to the poles. Let's see what's happening in metaphase. Just right now, what's the first thing you notice? Dude, it's the thing that happens. It's how you know you're in metaphase. The chromosomes line up on the, it's called a metaphase plate, but it's the equator of the cell. Now the interesting thing is, prophase? Holy crap, there was like gobs and gobs of things that were taking place in prophase. Metaphase? We can have early metaphase and late metaphase. We can have late, late prophase or pro-metaphase just before metaphase. But metaphase is we've lined up. The chromosomes have lined up in the middle and they're all, how did they line up? Well they attach. How did they move? How'd they even get there? It was the spindle fibers attached to the centrioles that literally are jockeying around these chromosomes and getting everybody lined up on the metaphase plate. Metaphase is quite possibly the easiest stage to identify, to see in slides because it's just that one thing that's happening. Now I want you to think, I want you to predict again. We lined up our chromosomes along this, along the middle. Why? Why are we doing this? Why are we lining them all up in the middle? What do you think is gonna happen next? You percolate on that and meanwhile, let's go back and find, okay look I'm gonna make it big just and I know I wrote all over it but do you see anything in metaphase? Do you see anything where you're like what? Wait a minute like it kind of pops out doesn't it? I really do get super excited. Is this where you're looking? Dude, uh-huh. That's a cell. Here's another one. Do you agree? Look at how the DNA is all condensed and it's totally locked up in the middle. These are both metaphase. Metaphase is easy. I would argue that this is also metaphase. I'm looking, I'm looking, I would argue that this is metaphase. Do you agree? Okay, good job. Back to your original question. Your question, my question, my question that you need to answer. What happens next? If you had to predict our next phase is anaphase, that was a gigantic hint. What do you think is gonna happen in anaphase?
