CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells that are in a nondividing state are in which phase?
A
G1
B
G2
C
S
D
G0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Within the G0 phase, a cell is regarded as being quiescent, in a non-dividing state.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G0 phase is the phase in the cell cycle in which the cell is neither dividing nor preparing for division; it’s in a resting phase. The cell enters this phase after it’s done dividing or duplicating (mitosis).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is the period during which cells are in a non-dividing state. This phase comprises various stages, the first gap (G1) between the last mitosis and the S phase (the stage of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).

Detailed explanation-5: -While some cells are constantly dividing, others are quiescent. These cells exit G1 and enter a resting state called G0. In G0, a cell is performing its function without actively preparing to divide. G0 is a permanent state for some cells, while others may re-start division if they get the right signals.
