Cells that are in a nondividing state are in which phase?
|
|
G0
|
|
|
G2
|
|
|
G1
|
|
|
S
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Within the G0 phase, a cell is regarded as being quiescent, in a non-dividing state.
Detailed explanation-2: -The interphase is the period when the cell is in a non-dividing state and this can be in different stages: the first gap (G1) between the last mitosis and the S phase (phase of DNA synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).
Detailed explanation-3: -Cells in the 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. No more DNA replication or cell division happens at this phase.
