CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Some scientists name the stage where cells carry out their normal functions but are unlikely to divide. The name they give this stage is ____
A
G0
B
G1
C
G2
D
G3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells that divide only rarely are thought to enter a stage that some scientists call G0. In G0, cells are unlikely to divide, although they continue to carry out their normal functions. Some cells, such as neurons, appear to stay perma nently in the G0 stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is the process of the cell cycle in which the cell carries out its ordinary functions, and is when the chromosomes replicate. Interphase can clearly be seen in eukaryotic cells, because the chromosomes relax, becoming barely visible with a compound microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -The G0 phase is often referred to as the resting phase. The G0 phase is the phase in the cell cycle in which the cell is neither dividing nor preparing for division; hence it’s in a resting phase. The cell enters this phase after it is done dividing or duplicating (mitosis).

Detailed explanation-4: -G0 phase: resting state, or gap phase. Many cells spend most of their time in this phase either at rest or performing assigned duties.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells enter the G0 (inactive) phase after they exit the cell cycle when they are not actively preparing to divide; some cells remain in G0 phase permanently.
