Sure! Here is a matching of the phases of the cell cycle with their correct descriptions:

  1. Interphase: The cell grows and duplicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis.

  2. Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope begins to disintegrate, and spindle fibers begin to form.

  3. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

  4. Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.

  5. Telophase: The chromosomes reach the poles, begin to de-condense back into chromatin, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

  6. Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

You can match these descriptions accordingly!
