I don't think phophase is anything.
If you are studying cells try prophase. Its the first phase of mitosis
If you are studying chemisty try phosphate.
During prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. This is the first stage of mitosis where the cell prepares to divide by separating its genetic material.
This describes the metaphase stage of mitosis. During metaphase, the chromatin pairs line up along the center of the cell, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down. The spindle fibers also form and attach to the centromeres of the chromatids.
Maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis in the phase called prophase I. This pairing is known as synapsis and is essential for the exchange of genetic material through a process called crossing over.
The most common form of synapsis occurs in the nuclei of cells undergoing the type of cell division called meiosis.It occurs during prophase I (i.e. prophase of the first meiotic division). Prophase I is subdivided into five stages, and synapsis occurs in the second of these (zygotene).Synapsis refers to the pairing of homologous chromosomes. For example, the chromosome 5 that you inherited from your mother pairs with the chromosome 5 that you inherited from your Dad. By "pairing" is meant the exact alignment of two chromosomes, so that each point (locus) on one chromosome is beside the corresponding point on the other.It does not only occur during meiosis. Some flies, including the intensively-studied fruit-fly Drosophila, can undergo endomitosis, which is the division of chromosomes without subsequent cytokinesis (splitting of the cytoplasm).The result? A considerable replication of chromosomal material within a single cell. A famous example is the giant (polytene) chromosomes of the salivary glands of Drosophila. In these giant chromosomes the genetic material is aligned, so this is another example of synapsis.
