Here are the processes of mitosis matched to their respective phases:
1. **The cell separates into two new cells.** - **Cytokinesis** (though technically not a phase of mitosis itself, it follows mitosis).
2. **Paired chromosomes separate at protein structures.** - **Anaphase**.
3. **DNA is replicated.** - **Interphase** (specifically the S phase, which occurs before mitosis begins).
4. **Chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.** - **Metaphase**.
So, to summarize:
- Cytokinesis: The cell separates into two new cells.
- Anaphase: Paired chromosomes separate at protein structures.
- Interphase (S phase): DNA is replicated.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.
