Question
Which of these can be referred to as resting phase? a. G1 b. G0 c. S d. M
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The G0 phase is a quiescent (resting) stage where cells have exited the cell cycle and are not preparing to divide. They remain metabolically active but do not proliferate unless stimulated to re-enter. G1 is a period of growth and activity, not 'resting' in the same sense.
Hint
This is a 'time-out' from the cell cycle.
