The correct sequence of the cell cycle phases is: interphase (where the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and other cellular components), prophase (chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down), prometaphase (chromosomes begin to attach to the spindle apparatus), metaphase (chromosomes align at the metaphase plate), anaphase (sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles), and telophase (chromosomes decondense and the nuclear envelope re-forms).
