MCQ
Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at:
  • A
    $G_1$.
  • B
    $G_2$.
  • $G_0$.
  • D
    $S$ phase.

Answer

Correct option: C.
$G_0$.
Cells that do not divide further and 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 do not grow and differentiate unless stimulated by appropriate signal depending on the requirement of the organism.
