Question

Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at

• A. $G_{1}$
• B. $G_{2}$
• C. $G_{0}$
• D. S phase

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$G_{0}$

Answer 2

Cells that do not divide further exit $G_{1}$ phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stage $(G_{0})$ of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless stimulated by appropriate signal depending on the requirement of the organism.
