Ques. 1NEET (UG) 2020

Some dividing cells exit the cell cycle and enter vegetative inactive stage. This is called quiescent stage (G0). This process occurs at the end of

  1. G1 phase
  2. S phase
  3. G2 phase
  4. M phase

Answer

(1) G1 phase

Solution

As per NCERT, some cells in the adult animals do not appear to exhibit division (e.g., heart cells) and many other cells divide only occasionally.

The cells that do not divide further exit G1 phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stage (G0) of the cell cycle.

Cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so.

The cell enters G0 at the end of G1 phase.
