Q. Some cells in adult animals do not divide. They exit G1 phase and enter an inactive stage which is called as

COMEDKCOMEDK 2015Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

G0-phase (quiescent stage) is the stage of inactivation of cell cycle due to non availability of mitogens and energy rich compounds. The cells remain metabolically active. They do not grow or differentiate. The cells function as reserve cells which can join cell cycle in time.
