Question

Cells of which stage remains metabolically active but there is no longer proliferation?

• A. G${}_1$ - Phase
• B. G${}_2$ - Phase
• C. G${}_0$ - Phase
• D. S - Phase

Answer 1

The correct option is C G${}_0$ - Phase

• $G_0$ phase is also called a quiescent phase.
• At this phase, the cell remains metabolic active but there is no longer proliferation.
• It is a period of resting stage for a cell, where the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide and no longer proliferate unless called to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.
  
• So the correct answer is '$G_0$ phase'.
