Q. The cells that do not divide further, exit $G_{1}$phase to enter an inactive stage called_____of the cell cycle.

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

The phase in which cells fail to divide further (do not enter $S$- phase after $G_{1}$ -phase) and undergo differentiation is known as $G_{0}$ phase or quiescent stage. It occurs due to non availability of mitogen and energy rich compounds. The cells remain metabolically active, grow in size and differentiate for particular function after attaining a particular shape.
