Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

G_{0}

-phase is the permanent or temporary exit from the

G_{1}

-phase. Cells in this phase remain metabolically active but do not proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.
