Detailed explanation-1: -Gap 0 phase is also referred to as the resting phase. It is because it is in this phase when the cell following cell division enters a resting period. The cell is inactive in a way that it exits the cell cycle and is not preparing itself to undergo cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -3. Mature neurons and muscle cells remain in G0 phase.
Detailed explanation-3: -This phase is followed by the G1 phase (gap 1), which corresponds to the interval (gap) between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication. During G1, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place.
Detailed explanation-4: -The G0 phase describes a cellular state outside of the replicative cell cycle. Classically, cells were thought to enter G0 primarily due to environmental factors, like nutrient deprivation, that limited the resources necessary for proliferation. Thus it was thought of as a resting phase.
