The cell cycle consists of several key phases that can be identified in the following sequence:

1. **Interphase**: This is the longest phase of the cell cycle and is divided into three sub-phases:
- **G1 Phase (Gap 1)**: The cell grows and carries out normal functions while preparing for DNA replication.
- **S Phase (Synthesis)**: DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.
- **G2 Phase (Gap 2)**: The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, including synthesizing proteins and organelles.

2. **M Phase (Mitosis)**: This phase includes:
- **Prophase**: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
- **Metaphase**: Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
- **Anaphase**: Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
- **Telophase**: Nuclear envelopes reform around the separated sets of chromosomes, which begin to de-condense.

3. **Cytokinesis**: This process occurs at the end of mitosis and involves the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells.

If you can provide the choices available to you, I can assist in matching them to these steps of the cell cycle!
