Question

Some dividing cells exit the cell cycle and enter vegetative inactive stage. This is called quiescent stage $\left(G_0\right)$. This process occurs at the end of

• A. S phase
• B. $G_2$
• C. M phase
• D. $G_1$ phase

Answer 1

The correct option is C M phase

After M phase, some cells do not divide further and exist $G_1$ phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stages $\left(G_0\right)$ of the cell cycle. Cells in $G_0$ stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.
