Question

Select the correct option:

Which of the following statements is correct regarding $G_0$ phase?

• A. Mitogens are present in $G_0$ phase.
• B. Mitogens are present but energy rich compounds are absent.
• C. Both mitogens and energy rich compounds are present.
• D. Neither mitogens nor energy rich compounds are present.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither mitogens nor energy rich compounds are present.

Go phase or the quiescent phase is the phase in which the cell that is not dividing further are present.

These types of the cell do not proceed beyond the G1 phase and start undergoing differentiation into a specific type. These are the cell that is said to be in the static phase and there is no mitotic activity present in them.

There is no synthesis of RNA or DNA or any type of proteins.

So, the correct option is 'Neither mitogens nor energy-rich compounds are present.'
