|
G0 is the stage right before cell division
|
|
|
G0 is the stage the cell enters when it isn’t going to divide
|
|
|
G0 is the stage where cells divide
|
|
|
G0 is part of S phase
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Cells in G0 phase are not actively preparing to divide. The cell is in a quiescent (inactive) stage that occurs when cells exit the cell cycle. Some cells enter G0 temporarily until an external signal triggers the onset of G1.
Detailed explanation-2: -G0 cells do not grow or proliferate but are metabolically active.
Detailed explanation-3: -The G0 Phase of the Cell Cycle While in the G0 phase, cells exist in a quiescent–or inactive–state. They are inactive in the sense that they are not dividing or preparing to divide. Rather, they are performing their other cellular duties.
Detailed explanation-4: -The G0 phase is a form of the resting state, or quiescence, in which cells reside until they receive appropriate signals-for example, from growth factors-stimulating them to re-enter and progress through the cell cycle.
