The cells that do not divide further, exit `G_(1)` phase to enter an inactive stage called__ of the cell cycle.

A

M stage

B

`G_(2)` stage

C

S stage

D

`G_(0)` stage

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The phase in which cells fail to divide further (do not enter S-phase after `G_(1)-`phase) and undergo differentiation is known as `G_(0)` phase or quiescent stage. It occurs due to non-availability of mitogen and energy rich compounds. The cells remain metabolically active, grow in size and differentiate for particular function after attaining a particular shape.
