Here is the correct matching of the processes of the cell cycle to their respective phases:
- The cell separates into two new cells. - d. cytokinesis
- Sister chromatids separate at centromere. - c. anaphase
- DNA is replicated. - b. interphase
- Chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. - a. metaphase
So the matches are as follows:
- 1 → d
- 2 → c
- 3 → b
- 4 → a
