Here is the correct matching of phases from Column A to their corresponding events in Column B:
- Interphase: e. period of the cell cycle where the cell performs its cell "job"
- Prophase: b. first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
- Metaphase: a. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- Anaphase: g. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
- Telophase: d. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin within the newly formed nuclei
- Cytokinesis: f. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
- Go: c. 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
