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