“G0 ” state of cells in eukaryotic cell cycle denotes A Check point before entering the next phase B Pausing in the middle of a cycle to cope with a temporary delay C Death of a cell D Exit of cells from cell cycle
Correct option is D) G0 phase is the phase of cell quiescence when cell are not to divide after G1 phase and start undergoing differentiation into a specific type of cell are said to be in G0 phase. Cells do not grow or differentiate but remain metabolically active to function as reserve cells. They can re-enter the cell cycle at any time on receiving a proper stimulus. Hence, option D is correct.
