Column B
a.division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
b.period of the cell cycle where the cell performs its cell "job"
c.phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin within the newly formed nuclei
d.phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
e.phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
f.first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
g.part of the cell cycle considered "quiescent" where the cell is not dividing or preparing to do so - mature nerves and muscle cells exist here

Answer 1

Here is the matching of the phases of the cell cycle from Column A with their corresponding descriptions in Column B:

1. Interphase: g. part of the cell cycle considered "quiescent" where the cell is not dividing or preparing to do so - mature nerves and muscle cells exist here
2. Prophase: f. first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
3. Metaphase: e. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
4. Anaphase: d. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
5. Telophase: c. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin within the newly formed nuclei
6. Cytokinesis: a. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
7. Go: b. period of the cell cycle where the cell performs its cell "job"

These pairings correctly describe each phase or state of the cell cycle.
